William Prosser: Bro or Foe?

Prosser seems to enjoy outlining and rule extraction more than day drinking and corn hole. This dude is a serious square, but his ability to synthesize and simplify tort law makes him a valuable commodity to legal brofessionals and scholars. A master of analogies, Prosser never met a situation he couldn't boil down to A, B and C.


Prosser is on the record as stating: "If the authority exists to discharge a professor because he will not sign this oath on demand, then it exists to fire him because he will not sign an oath that he is not a Catholic, not a Mason, not a consumer of beer...there is no place to stop."  While his ability to identify parallels and draft analogous situations appears to be on point, his negative outlook on beer consumption affirms the notion that he is a total lame.

What does the brommunity at large think? Let me know.
