The Rocky statue in Philadelphia. Boxing is usually not considered any sort of crime or tort against either party, since both fighters usually agree (or consent) to take part.
Hello all,
Today was another one with a decent amount of book work, in learning about intentional torts. Hopefully we can continue to dive into the details of these next class, so you know the main concepts a bit better.
Soundtrack: “Bring it on Home” by Led Zeppelin. Selected for today because some intentional torts are torts that harm property, like homes. Lyrics here.
AGENDA 10/17/13:
Tort Report
Worksheet Answers
Chapter 19 Definitions/Questions
Homework: Know tort vocab! Read the blog. Next tort report is assigned to Ryan.
Tort Report: Erin brought in this article about a woman suing for harassment: DailyMail.co.uk - Advertising exec sues boss for $6MILLION for saying she looks like Susan Boyle. As I said in class, I wonder about the specifics of the case. The number of damages sought for a remedy is quite high, which prompts us to think it might be frivolous in nature, but I hope we learned in the Hot Coffee case to withhold judgement until we know the details. Thanks, Erin!
Worksheet Answers: This was in regards to the Chapter 18 worksheet most students completed in class last time. There were some true or false statements and a fill in the blank about various concepts related to our torts introduction. Use these to help study for a probable upcoming quiz next week (not Monday).
Chapter 19 Definitions/Questions: For much of the rest of class, students were working on a sheet of definitions from Chapter 19 and answering the "You Be The Judge" and 19.1-19.9 questions. It seemed like everyone was working really hard on this, so we will pick it back up next class (I wish we had the books to allow you to check them out and do it as homework, but alas, we do not) and go over the various answers to the scenarios.

Review: We will review next class, but please be studying and looking over your notes on the various vocabulary terms we are learning about.
Have a great weekend - see you next week for the last three-B-days week of my time as your long term substitute!
