Abstract
The Luce Professor of Jurisprudence at Yale and one of the puisne judges of the United States Court of.Appeals for the Second Circuit, also sometime Nash Professor of Law at Columbia University, were discussing the allocation of judicial business among the several circuits. In the course of discussion, the judge made the unqualified assertion that "the State of Georgia is in the Fifth Circuit," a statement controverted by his colloquist. This difference of view resulted in a wager of 5 cents. The judge's subsequent letter of demand met with the reply set forth below.
