are wasting their money.”
    Will did his best to focus on Ferguson’s lecture of the different ways to own property. After all, his study group went through all of them the night before. Ferguson waited for a volunteer to explain the difference between a joint tenancy and a tenancy in common. Amanda and Todd quickly raised their hands, and Will decided he would volunteer too. He threw his hand up in the air, and Ferguson immediately called on Will.
    “Finally, someone other than Ms. Martin and Mr. Garner,” Professor Ferguson noted.
    “A joint tenancy is a type of concurrent estate in which the joint owners have a right of survivorship, meaning that if one owner dies that owner’s interest in the property will automatically pass to the remaining owner or owners. On the death of one of the tenants, the whole of the property passes to remaining tenants. The deceased tenant’s property interest cannot be inherited by his heirs, which means it avoids going through probate. Under this type of ownership, the last owner living takes all. This type of estate is most common with married people,” Will said succinctly.
    “Perfect, and how about tenancy in common?” Ferguson asked.
    “A tenancy in common is much different. The owners in a tenancy in common each own separate and distinct shares of the property. Tenants in common have no right of survivorship, meaning that if one owner dies, that owner’s interest in the property will pass by inheritance to that owner’s devisees or heirs, either by will or by intestate succession,” Will answered.
    “Great job, Mr. James, you’re going to have to volunteer more often,” Ferguson said with a big smile.
    Jack was jealous that Professor Ferguson was so impressed with Will, but glad Will got the answer right. Sean gave Will a thumbs up and Amanda smiled from ear to ear. Todd did not look at Will; he just leaned back in his chair and realized he may have more competition then he originally had thought.

Chapter 15
    Professor Kirshner scanned the room for his first victim of the day. Jack slumped down in his seat feeling the dead eyes of the professor gazing his way. He said a quick Hail Mary and hoped for the best.
    “Mr. James, what do you say we start with you once again,” Kirshner said with an evil smirk.
    Even though Jack felt bad for Will, he was relieved it was not him; his praying worked. Amanda sighed knowing that Will had been a nervous wreck all week since the last time he faced Kirshner, and even Abrams felt bad for poor Will James.
    “The class is waiting, Mr. James. Please brief the first case,” Kirshner said angrily.
    Will did his best to get through the case. The odd thing about Kirshner was the way he waited for students to finish briefing the entire case, and then insult them on how wrong they were. Most professors would stop students when they started to say something that was incorrect, but Kirshner loved to keep handing his students the rope so they could slowly hang themselves.
    Will’s voice cracked and stuttered as he finished his interpretation of the case. “My God, son, you sound like a pubescent boy. Dah, dah, dah … At least sound like you know what you are talking about. That sometimes fools some of the morons in the world; I don’t even think Mr. Jackson believed you,” Kirshner shouted.
    Sean clinched his fist and dreamed what it would be like to bash Kirshner’s face in. Kirshner stared into Sean’s eyes as if he could read his mind. Will looked down at Sean wondering when the staring contest would be over and Kirshner would get back to him.
    “Please, somebody else tell me what the damn case was about,” Kirshner shouted with his hands raised in the air.
    “Ms. Martin, brief it, and do it right,” he yelled.
    Amanda had barely spoken when Kirshner shouted, “Can I ask you a question, Ms. Martin? Are you and Mr. James related somehow?”
    “No,” she said hesitantly.
    “Oh, I thought maybe stupidity ran in your family.”
