Now we just need a ruling in the ongoing case of “On A Break v. Not On A Break.”
On Tuesday, Judge Brown with the D.C. Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals published her majority opinion in the case of U.S. v Emor.

The case centered on civil forfeiture laws following the U.S. government's seizure of property that a scheming private school founder, Charles Emor, defrauded from his own institution.

In an episode of the iconic 1990s television show Friends, Joey Tribbiani tries to dissuade Rachel Green from moving to Paris. Joey asks Rachel to flip a coin. If he wins the coin flip, she must agree to stay. Rachel flips the coin; Joey loses. When later recounting the story to Ross Gellar, a befuddled Joey says, "[w]ho loses fifty-seven coin tosses in a row?" Friends: The One with Rachel's Going Away Party (NBC television broadcast Apr. 29, 2004). Before Ross can answer, Joey explains Rachel's rules: "Heads, she wins; tails, I lose." Id
