Thank you Stern.

IANAL, but I believe that the well refers to the area immediately in front of the judge's bench. That's why, in every TV lawyer show, one or both of the attorneys will ask "may we approach the bench?".

Thanks, I think you’re right.
It so happens that if I had waited a day, I would have read about Tennessee lawmakers getting expelled for entering the Well in the statehouse. They didn’t get permission. Seemed pretty draconian to me.

A lot of that test seemed so relevant.
Did Stern foresee the future? Or was he on top of events before they got publicized?

1. What is the famous number central to The Law Against Perpetuities?

=> Forty Seven (47). Of course, 42 is the obvious answer, being the supposed answer to "life, the universe, and everything". But of course, Douglas Adams couldn't print the actual answer or the universe would have come to the end right there and then. So it must be the number that won me the "I've got Dual-Floppies" T-Shirt in the number guessing game at the Seagate booth at the "First West-Coast Computer Faire" back in the day (it only took me 10 years to find a lady who would wear it).

2. What is that famous number related to?

=> I already told you in the answer above. Can't you read?

3. What product or service was provided by the company sued in Palsgraf?

=> Beer. The Lawyer couldn't spell "Falstaff".

4. What three word Latin expression arose from a falling barrel of flour?

=> futuis ego post

5. What legal concept does International Shoe discuss?

=> Is the U.S. Government responsible for Maxwell Smart's phone bills when he is out of the country?

6. Who was M’Naghten?

=> Partner of G'nn in a book publishing business some place.

7. Multiple choice: What is a deodand?

a. The period of time in which to act as extended by a holiday.
b. The space in a courtroom occupied by the clerk.
c. An object causing death forfeited to the Crown.
d. An important decision creating a new legal principle.

=> All of the above: The period of time the clerk occupies space in the courtroom creating a new legal principle by confiscating a forfeited object that caused death. Or something.

8. What area of law did seisin and feoffment relate to?

=> Trademark infringment on products designed to mask body odor caused by too much cofefe.

9. What part of a courtroom must you never enter without permission?

=> The judges personal toilet under the desk.

10. What area of law deals with detrimental reliance?

That is crazy. Even down over here in Floriduh, confiscated firearms after prosecution are destroyed. I THINK.

932.7055 Disposition of liens and forfeited property.—
(1) When a seizing agency obtains a final judgment granting forfeiture of real property or personal property, it may elect to:
(a) Retain the property for the agency’s use;
(b) Sell the property at public auction or by sealed bid to the highest bidder, except for real property which should be sold in a commercially reasonable manner after appraisal by listing on the market; or
(c) Salvage, trade, or transfer the property to any public or nonprofit organization.

All sums received from the sale or other disposition of the said weapons, electric weapons or devices, or arms disposed of by the sheriff under chapter 705 as aforesaid shall be paid into the State Treasury for the benefit of the State School Fund and shall become a part thereof.
