In exchange for a share of the profits, a woman conveyed her densely forested tract of land to a logging company by warranty deed. The logging company did not record its deed. Afraid her friends and family would think she made a bad business decision, the woman kept the transaction with the logging company to herself.

In a suit between the logging company and the friend to quiet title, who is likely to prevail?

Principal Carter noted, “We have to find a balance that supports both academic success and student wellness.” As the school board prepares to vote next month, the student body remains divided — unsure if spring break will be just a memory, or a newly cherished tradition.
