    This counts as studying for the bar, right?

    Another snag off of Scooter (you know what a sucker for these kinds of things I am, eh Scooter?). The Which Rule of Civil Procedure are You? quiz is a few years old, so others may have already discovered their true identity... but fun for me.
    YOU ARE RULE 20(a)!
    You are Rule 20, an important part of the Federal Rules' policy of permissive joinder. You are designed specifically to allow as many parties in an action as can be tried efficiently, and you'll include someone as long as there is some factual overlap between a claim involving them and the rest of the case at hand. You are popular, out-going, and are never far from friends. However, your overly gregarious nature and magnanimous approach do make things a bit crowded -- you're the reason that lawsuits are often cluttered with innumerable parties and even more numberous claims for relief. Still, despite the crowds that you attract, you can't argue with the efficiency of getting everything done at once!

    BTW, for the record, I do have to object to the test's bias against people who aren't married...

    Okay, I'm over it now.
