Silly 1L! You're supposed to play in the snow, not take an exam on it! (Memories of last year rise up from the deep... I remember the brief 2-day period where we thought it was cool to point out all the tortious activity.)
I cannot be absolutely sure, but I think that item is only the second time I have come across "riparian" - and the other was in a sit-com (Keeping up Appearances, an episode where a picnic causes much consternation).
Hilarious... I've had two of my profs-- torts and property (same property class that Steven is in) use "riparian" so far, but I had the same thought the first time one used it. That darn "Bucket" woman.

I'd bang my head against my cubicle wall, but seeing as my employer owns it, and I might very well convert the property by adding my blood to the wall, I'll abstain. and just cry.
