text: Tort = 1) Injury to a P by a D 2) for which P is entitled to damages. Risk-spreading mechanism, or insurance whereby the actual cost, including liability for injuries, of various lines of business becomes part of the price of that business"s products, an insurance premium of sorts. NEGLIGENCE Prima Facie Case: Actor D is subject to liability to person P for negligence when – 1. P has suffered an injury; 2. D owed a duty to a class of persons including P to take care to not cause the kind of injury suffered; 3. D breached that duty of care; 4. D's breach was the actual and proximate cause of P's injury. Injury: physical harm (bodily and tangible property harm), loss of wealth, emotional distress (not annoyance) (matter of fact) Physical harms: fatal and non-fatal contusions, lacerations, broken bones, internal organ damage, diseases and physical illnesses. Loss of Chance Doctrine: limited to medical cases and life/death (generally >50% chance) o Falcon v. Memorial Hospital (Woman died in child birth, 37.5% chance of surviving if she had received an IV.) Property Damage: land, structures and personal possessions. Pure Economic Loss: NO liability for economic loss if loss does not result from physical damage to property (even if the economic loss was foreseeable) unless: o (1) disproportionate sufferer, (2) clear and specific consequences for a specific group, (3) privity. (Floodgate issue – too much liability for courts) Emotional Distress: may be recoverable. Pain and suffering, especially with physical harms, is recoverable. Duty: Question of law for judge (always in effect) Ordinary Duty: exercise reasonable care to avoid foreseeable harm. o P must prove D owed obligation to not cause the type of injury P suffered. o Old rule: Privity – no longer required. o Reasonable Foreseeability: unqualified duty to take reasonable care to avoid injury to others if a person with "ordinary sense" could foresee the possible danger and would take steps to avoid it. Affirmative Duty: generally no duty to rescue or protect. o EXCEPTIONS: Common Carriers, Business Invitees, Voluntary Actors, Special Relationships (contract) - Duty to take reasonable action to protect from unreasonable harm and render first aid after reason to know they are ill or injured (Taco Bell, man faints, employees don"t help, faints again) Imminent peril to P caused by D Duty to make reasonable efforts to rescue (not necessarily accomplish) Duty to Report: duty to report witnessing crime or child treated negligently Good Samaritan statutes: immunize people from liability for negligence in rescuing Premises Liability: Possessor"s duty to people on their land o Invitee - person who enters premise to do business Duty to inspect for dangers, warn of hidden dangers, and protect from known harm. Heightened duty from derived economic benefit o Licensee - enters with permission but no business transaction (reasonable care) Duty to refrain from willfully and wantonly injuring; must warn of danger on premise Willful and wanton: awareness of the risk and intentional disregard for the risk o Trespasser - person who enters w/o license or inducement Refrain from willfully and wantonly injuring them Discovered Trespassers: limited duty; warn of natural or artificial dangers. Child trespassers: duty to take reasonable care to protect from injury. Attractive Nuisance: weigh utility against harm – usually liable; must draw child to property; must be inherently dangerous Breach: (D must breach the specific duty owed to P; see Palsgraf) Restatement (Third); Factors considered for breach: o Foreseeable likelihood action will cause harm o Foreseeable severity of the harm o Burden of precautions to eliminate or reduce harm Hand Rule: B<PL; (ex ante) (B=burden of precaution, P= probability of injury without precaution, L=gravity of injury) when B is lower than PxL, B should be/have been taken and D is liable. If burden is great and probability of injury is low, D doesn"t need to take precaution. Disproportionate Cost Theory (Lord Reid): o If risk was very small – no duty to take precaution o If risk was "real" but still small – obligated to take precautions unless taking precautions would impose burden disproportionate to risked harm o If risk was material or substantial – obligated to do everything possible to prevent Even expensive precautions to avoid modest loss o Disproportionate cost theory tries to recognizes safety is more important than $ Judicial determinations: breach is usually determined by jury (matter of fact) o Insufficient Evidence: grant summary judgment for D o Unforeseeable Danger: no liability so long as "reasonable care" taken to prevent harm Ordinary Care: standard of care Reasonable Person would employ (usual burden of care) o Time Slice – if at any point care falls below reasonable, D is liable o Spectrum: avoid reckless injury avoid gross negligence (good Samaritan laws) ordinary care extraordinary care strict liability Reasonable Person: Ordinarily prudent person acting reasonably under the circumstances. Meant to be objective – does not vary with D's intelligence or ability. o Illegal = Unreasonable o Subjectivity: does not matter if D attempted to be reasonable. Children: considers age, intelligence, and experience. o Majority Rule: liable if they fail to exercise a degree of care that is reasonable of similarly situated children (generally not found liable under 4 years) Exception: children engaging in adult activities are tried as adults, i.e. driving o Minority Rule; Tender Years Doctrine: Children under 7 y.o. are incapable of negligence o Negligent Supervision: Parents aware of similar prior conduct and had opportunity to control. Disabilities: only physical disabilities will sometimes be taken into account. Industry Custom: evidence of reasonable care, but is not dispositive o T.J. Hooper Rule: Industry custom in insufficient to prove reasonableness o Anti-T.J. Hooper Rule: Custom is dispositive in the trained professions (law, MEDICINE) Rationale: Reasonableness can"t be determined without expertise. o Which Rule Applies?: T.J. Hooper rule applies in most jurisdictions to everything outside of trained professions. Anti-T.J. rule applies in most jurisdictions, but only to medicine. o Prudent Patient Standard: applies only to informed consent cases Asks what patient would need/want to know, not what reasonable doctor would disclose. Actual Cause: But-for Cause: but for D's conduct, event wouldn't have occurred o Coincidence doesn"t count. Multiple Necessary Causes: applies if each cause is necessary but not sufficient on its own o Majority Rule: multiple causes each of which was necessary but not alone sufficient to cause the harm – D"s are all held jointly and severally liable. Test: But for each actors negligence there would be no harm. o Joint and Several Liability: P may recover up to 100% from any D, but no more that 100% in total from all D's. o Breach of Affirmative Duty: car going 6 mph hits electric pole meant to withstand 10 mph that falls; driver and electric company both liable. o Contributory Fault: fact finder can treat P's faulty conduct as but-for cause. Multiple Sufficient Causes: each factor alone sufficient to cause particular injury – applies when two or more causes merge that can't be differentiated. (Each alone is sufficient but not necessary.) o Substantial Factor Test: Was the act a substantial factor in causing the harm? o Toxins: must prove chemical alone sufficient for harm & actually caused P"s harm Multiple Identical Acts: when at least two negligent actors independently cause same injury to P, but P can"t determine which is actually responsible o Shifts burden of proof to D(s) – must prove own negligence not actual cause Prevents conspiracy of silence o Limiting Principles: (1) Each D acted in identical negligent manner toward P; (2) A single D was the actual cause of injury to P; (3) No other possible tortfeasor involved; (4) P"s inability to prove which D is responsible is not due to P"s lack of diligence. Proximate Cause: is casual relationship fortuitous? Needed to cut off liability somewhere. Foreseeability: (primary test) is P's injury the reasonably foreseeable consequence of D's conduct? o Scope of Risk/Risk Rule: the injury must be the realization of one of the risks that leads the law to deem the conduct careless in the first place. Wide: the specific way the injury occurred is not foreseeable, but the risk of the class of harms to which the injury belongs is foreseeable Narrow: the specific manner by which the injury occurred must be foreseeable o If P's injury is… beyond any reasonable expectation D is not liable foreseeable but more serious than anticipated D is still liable (eggshell P) a foreseeable type of harm probably liable (see Scope of Risk) Directness: (generally abandoned for foreseeability) act is direct cause of harm Natural and Ordinary; One-leap test: harm is one leap away from act Intervening and Superseding Cause: unforeseeable independent or willful (and wrongful) intervention by 3rd party that breaks chain of probable cause o TEST: Remote actor D is liable if any of these apply: 1. There is a basis for attributing the immediate injurer's conduct to a remote D (e.g., a conspiracy) 2. The remote D was already tortious with respect to P, irrespective of remote actors 3. The remote D was only wrongful in failing to enable the immediate actor, but D owes P an affirmative duty to prevent harms produced by the immediate actor o Criminal Acts: unlawful or malicious acts by a 3rd party are generally deemed unforeseeable o Still Unfolding: if events that arise from the D"s negligence are still unfolding when P is harmed, D is liable regardless of other causes o Pay special attention to the nature of the remote D's wrongful act – it needs to be wrong with respect to P regardless of the intervening actor's act. Special cases of negligence: Res Ipsa Loquitur: jury may infer negligence merely from incidence and P's relation to it. o Requirements: (negligence without proven breach) Event doesn"t ordinarily occur without negligence Caused by agency or instrumentality likely within exclusive control of D P didn"t in any way contribute to the incident that brought about harm If P contributes after incident, possible contributory negligence (or bar to claim) o Exceptions: complex procedures that go badly without fault; evidence that D wasn"t at fault o Rationale: shifts burden of proof, D likely has all evidence o Defense: prove actual cause (if not negligence), prove reasonable care Negligence Per Se: violation of statute satisfies duty and breach; need only prove injury and cause o "Rebuttable presumption of negligence" o Elements: statute must protect a class of persons from a type of injury/hazard (not licensing) o Policy: harm must be of the type statute was intended to prevent (issue of law, not fact) o Applicable Rules: conduct rules promulgated by legislature o Exceptions: (defenses) Children: not necessarily expected to comply with statute Safer Act: evidence violation occurred in favor of an even safer course of conduct Unable to comply: despite reasonable diligence/effort (e.g. good fake i.d.) Strict Liability: duty and breach not explicit factors; need only prove injury and cause 1. Generally: (1) D intended to do something; (2) P was injured; (3) D"s act was the but-for and proximate cause of the injury. (Strict liability is imposed by judge as matter of law) 2. Effect: No regard for reasonable care, and sometimes foreseeability as well 3. Comparative fault is a possible defense in a minority of jurisdictions o Animal Bites: Common Law: owners of animals are strictly liable for harms caused, usually regardless of trespass, if owner knows or should know of viciousness Domestic Animals: the owner of a domestic animal is liable when (1) that person had knowledge (or should have had knowledge) that the animal has a tendency to be vicious, and (2) the animal bites or injures another person, even if D employed all reasonable measures to control the animal. D may not be liable for the "first bite" of the animal. If D had no idea that the animal had any propensity to cause harm and species known to be docile; D is likely not liable. Wild Animals: strict liability for D's animal – no matter how docile, etc. o Trespass to Land: Lawful Possessor has (1) the right to enjoy their property without harming others and (2) the right to exclude people and things. Requirements: D intentionally interferes with possessor"s right to exclusivity Any physical invasion no matter how small is trespass Ad coleum trespass can occur above, upon, and beneath the surface of the earth Intention to act/be in a specific place (regardless of awareness of trespassing) If unintentional/involuntary or through necessity – no trespass Lawful Possessors (owner, tenants) are only Plaintiffs, invitees and licensees cannot sue Other Trespasses: failure to leave; failure to remove an object Injury/Damages: If harm can be connected to trespass, trespasser will be liable for harm o Nuisance: General rule: Elements – Intentional; voluntary: knows or should know it will interfere Harm goes beyond what ordinary, reasonable person can be expected to endure. Act is continuous Determining Harm: 5-Factor Test – (1) character of the neighborhood; (2) nature of the thing complained of; (3) frequency of the intrusion; (4) effect on P"s use and enjoyment of property; (5) location of the nuisance Lawful Possessors (owner, tenants) are only Plaintiffs, invitees and licensees cannot sue Private vs. Public: Private – civil wrong, individuals have standing to bring claim Public – state brings claim (if individuals – disproportionate sufferer) Damages: usually injunction; P"s benefit weighed against D"s hardship Coase Theorem: Assign liability to the least cost avoider (makes most profit). Theory: All torts are reciprocal nuisances. In a world without transaction costs, it does not matter which party is initially awarded legal entitlement – the result will always be most efficient allocation. Real World: Transaction costs do exist. Coasean bargaining is rarely applicable to real-world problems. Courts rarely know which allocation is most efficient. Calabresi: Bargaining power imbalances make negotiation difficult. o Ultra-hazardous Activity: If D maintains a risk that is inherently dangerous – strictly liable Rationale: cost shifting to D for asymmetrical risk (D should bear costs of risk) Exceptions: intervening acts (rare); proximate cause issues; pure economic loss Defenses: comparative negligence (ignored warning); assumption of risk Restatement (Second): 6-Factor Test (need several but not all): 1. Existence of a high degree of risk of some harm to P or property 2. Likelihood that the harm that results will be great 3. Inability to eliminate the risk by the exercise of reasonable care 4. Extent to which the activity is uncommon 5. Inappropriateness of the activity to the place where it is carried on; and 6. Extent to which its value to the community is outweighed by its danger Restatement (Third): an uncommon activity creating a foreseeable and significant risk, even when reasonable care is taken o Vicarious Liability: when an entity is liable for the tortious acts of another acting on its behalf Direct Liability: (e.g, employer acts wrongfully by failing to screen or supervise) Respodeat Superior: when an employer is held liable for an employee"s negligence Employer Liable when employees engage in torts that are committed within the "scope of employment" as an agent of the employer Scope of Employment: during business hours, activity endorsed by employer Rationale: employer is least cost avoider; can spread loss Apparent Authority: (e.g. parents are sometimes liable for their children, or by statute) Products Liability: Strict liability to manufacturer for injuries caused by defective product that reaches market without substantial changes; regardless of precautions taken or lack of privity o Implied Warranty: Promise that goods are safe for intended and ordinary use (can be waived) o Rationales: Obligation: manufacturer owes duty to create safe product Deterrence: manufacturer in best position to ensure safety; extra incentive Compensation-Insurance: manufacturer in best position to spread cost of injury Causation-Liability: product caused injury – liable Litigation-Structure: manufacturer has more resources/consumer no evidence Judicial Candor: open and direct structure more efficient o Elements: P has injury, caused by product, defective at sale, sold by commercial seller D 1. Injury: physical harm to P (owner or bystander) or P"s property, not product itself 2. Seller: manufacturer, seller, distributer, retailer (involved in bringing product to market) 3. Product: does not include: real estate, body parts, live animals, text (books) (maps may be considered), used products, intangibles/services (electricity), drugs (reasonable tests) 4. Valid Cause: product is defective at time of sale and defect caused P"s injury o Defects: 3 Categories Manufacturing Defect: flaw falling outside of product specifications Elements: 1. Product diverges from the manufacturer's own specifications 2. Must have been in manufacturer"s control when the defect arose 3. Established by comparing defective product to products manufactured properly to specifications Can occur anytime before sale. Design Defect: flaw inherent in the specifications of the product (anywhere from inconsequential to function to essential in product function) Criteria: whether design is defective – 1. Significance of risks posed by design 2. How ordinary customers would expect product to function 3. Feasibility of safer alternative design Risk-Utility Rule: defective if risks outweigh utility (even expected risk) o Wade"s 7-Factor Test (2nd Restatement): (1) usefulness and desirability of product; (2) likelihood and magnitude of potential injury; (3) safer product available; (4) can eliminate problem w/o hurting usefulness or price increase; (5) ability to avoid harm w/ user care; (6) user"s aniticpated awareness of dangers; (7) manufacturer"s ability to spread cost Failure to Warn: safety requires product be sold with warning, but warning inadequate Includes omission, mislabeling, unreadable warning, (foreseeable misuse) o Causation: Defect does not need to be sole cause of injury, yet still but-for and proximate o Defenses: Contributory negligence: P acts unreasonably in a casually relevant way to the harm Comparative responsibility: P"s conduct must be but-for cause of injury Implied assumption of risk: (no express assumption in most jurisdictions) Defenses: limited to reasonable actions Necessity: limits possessor's right to exclude trespassers acting reasonably and out of necessity o Rule: Is the person trespassing? If yes, was it an emergency? Did the trespasser act reasonably? Should the possessor have known it was an emergency? o Incomplete Privilege: trespasser must avoid foreseeable harm, must compensate for damages o Public Necessity: privilege to destroy private property w/o sanction (maybe compensation) Emergency: defense against negligence for split-second decisions in emergencies not caused by P Consent: immunity from liability within the scope of the consent o Express v. Implied: specifically stated v. reasonably inferred o Scope Factors: time, place, purpose, and context of the consent o Capacity to Consent: Only valid if given knowingly and voluntarily o Mistaken Consent: liable unless erroneous believe is induced by possessor"s actions Contributory Negligence/Comparative fault: P is also prima facie negligent o These claims are barred if D acted recklessly or intentionally. o Contributory Negligence – (outdated) P at all negligent – D excused from all liability o Pure Comparative Fault: (13 states) P can recover from D even if P is 99% liable o Modified Comparative Fault: (33 states) if P is < 50% responsible, D liable, > 50% barred Usually aggregated, if P"s 40% responsible, D1 30%, D2 30%, P still gets 60% o Failure to mitigate: (seat belt defense) failure to mitigate as affirmative defense to limit damages. o Last Clear Chance: whoever had last opportunity to prevent harm should be liable Joint and Several Liability: when D's act in concert or P's injury is indivisible. (100% from any D) Assumption of the Risk: a competent P who appreciates the riskiness of an activity and voluntarily undertakes it is barred from recovering against D for lack of breach (not including recklessness) o Express: explicit consent to take on risk – usually a waiver Valid Waiver/Exculpatory Agreement: Freely and fairly made (unambiguous), and; Parties are of equal bargaining power, and; Activity not against public policy (can"t waive all liability) Voidable: take-it-or-leave-it, disparate bargaining power, no negotiation, unique service o Implied: usually engagement in recreational activities (VOLUNTARY) Type of Activity: Reasonable Reasonable Unreasonable How it is undertaken: Reasonably Unreasonably N/A Effect: Assumption of Risk Comparative Fault Comparative Fault Result See below Analyze as CF Analyze as CF Reasonable activity undertaken reasonably: assumption of risk=bar to recovery or CF Immunity: complete defense, no duty owed o Spousal: only liable for recklessness or intentional torts o Parental: not liable unless… Cruel and outrageous/willful and wanton treatment, or; Both P and D are at age of majority (Privilege of Reasonable Parental Discipline) o Charitable: blocks respondeat superior for negligence claims; still liable for recklessness Does not apply if not benefiting from the organizations activities (e.g. hit by ambulance) o Sovereign: Federal and State Government immune unless covered by FTCA (not cities) FTCA grants suits where there is a private equivalent (e.g. post office) Immune when acting in a discretionary role (policy and day-to-day decisions) Westfall Act: cannot recover from employee acting within scope of employment, but can recover from government (employee must invoke this for immunization) Public Duty Rule: no duty to protect any one person (for cities/municipalities) INTENTIONAL TORTS Battery: Prima Facie Case: Actor D is liable to person P for battery if: 1. D acts: does not include accidents w/o intent or other people using actor"s body. 2. D intends to cause offensive or harmful contact with P: Intent: Usually need only to intend the harmful physical action that results in contact. Harmful: Physical injury. Offensive: What ordinary (reasonable) person would find offensive/offensive to personal dignity (within reason). Contact must violate prevailing social norms of what is acceptable touching, rather than merely individual standards. 3. D's action causes such contact: Doctrine of Extended Personality: battery can be established by contact with anything so connected with the body as to be customarily regarded as a part of the other's person and therefore as partaking of its inviolability. Offensive Touching: offensiveness determined by jury (must go to trial if possible to find tort) o Damages awarded for mental disturbance (fright, revulsion, or humiliation) o Offensiveness factors in physical circumstances and the relationship of the parties Intent: intent can be gathered from actions immediately preceding the battery o D found with intent to violate the legally protected interests of P (shooting case) after striking P Motion for summary judgment granted – D intended to cause harm to P at the time gun fired whether or not firing was accidental. To prove intent: circumstantial evidence can be used Sovereign Immunity: Government Immunity Act bars claims for intentional torts. Incapacity: Mental incompetence is not a defense – reasonable person standard still applies. Assault: Prima Facie Case: Actor D is liable to person P for assault if: 1. D acts: does not include accidents w/o intent or other people using actor"s body. 2. D intends to cause in P the apprehension of an offensive or harmful contact; 3. D's action causes P to reasonably apprehend such contact. Reasonable Person Standard: reasonable person would apprehend harm Special Susceptibility: D has knowledge/awareness of a unique susceptibility of P Aiming Weapons: liable for assault when D intends action with weapon (threatening manner). Verbal Threats: usually do not produce apprehension of imminent contact – usually not liable. Verbal threats can usually be prevented from realization with proper precautions Exceptions: o Common carriers have duty to protect from assault (liable if they threaten patron) o Ordinary prudent person would fear imminent danger from threat. o D uses known unique susceptibility of P to cause fear. Verbal Threats with Apparent Ability: it is sometimes sufficient [to establish liability] that P believes D capable of immediately inflicting contact unless P flees or defends. False imprisonment: detaining without explicit statutory permission, or respect for due process. Intent: Eggshell Plaintiff: D kicks P in class, [maybe] causes considerable harm, still liable for battery Horseplay: D kicks P, did not intend harm, liable regardless – unreasonable to claim that kick itself was not intentional. Substantially Certain Harm: o Rest. of Torts: when D is substantially certain harm will result from conduct, and does it still, law treats conduct as intended to bring about harm. o Risk of harm without substantial certainty is not enough. o Actions that are substantially certain to produce harm if they succeed, even if improbable or the likelihood of succeeding is in doubt by D, still produce liability to D. Transferred Intent: o Across Victims – Intent to assault A, but actually assaults B; liable to B for assault o Same Victim, Different Tort – Intend to assault A, actually shoot A; liable to A for battery o Different Tort, Different Victim – (In re: White) Intend to assault A, actually shoot B; liable to B for battery o Chattel to People – If a person intends to harm a thing (domesticated dog or car) and actually hurts a person, it may constitute battery. (Possible negligence claim if battery/assault fails.) o Proximate Cause Issues – Roommates goad underage P into drinking, P dies from alcohol poisoning. Supplying alcohol wasn"t intended to cause death, and P's actions were superseding cause (P might be comparatively negligent in negligence action). Not liable. Defenses: Consent: P has burden of proving the absence of consent. o Express consent: written waivers o Implied consent: sports, crowded transport, relationships o D thinks P consented: if based on P"s conduct, D reasonably concludes P consented, D is not liable. P"s conduct itself is the only source for reasonable but mistaken inference. o Paternalism: D thinking P should have consented is not enough. o Strong belief of imminent peril to P: If D reasonably believed touching necessary to save P from imminent physical harm, maybe no liability. o Objective indicia of consent: man waits in line for vaccine, then sticks arm out – implied consent o Narrow consent: if consent is given to specific people, the consent cannot be transferred o Scope of Consent: if consent is given for specific contact, consented-to contact cannot transfer o Fraud/Coercion: D cannot benefit from consent if P"s consent if secured with misrepresentation, fraud, or coercion. Consent is not a defense when – P lacks ability or judgment necessary to give meaningful consent; and A reasonable person in D"s position would perceive this lack of capacity. Self Defense: available to D who actually and reasonably believed in necessary to injure P to avoid imminent physical harm or confinement to D's self or others. o Application: Physical harm, inappropriate touching, or confinement – defamation, IIED don"t qualify If D precipitates confrontation, D can"t invoke self-defense unless sufficiently disengaged that D"s involvement is no longer the main impetus for confrontation with P. o Reasonable Force: self defense justified if force used is proportionate to the threat o Provocation: insult coupled with physical aggression might be sufficient o Objective: reasonable person must agree D could perceive imminent harm and acted proportionately o Defensive Use of Others: D uses bystander P as human shield – liable for battery. Defense and Recapture of Property: possessor can't booby-trap premise to only protect property (and not people). Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress: very rarely succeed Elements: 1. Conduct is extreme and outrageous – beyond all bounds of decency. Matter of Fact or Law (jurisdictional split) 2. D intends to cause P emotional distress so severe that it could reasonably be expected to adversely affect physical health. 3. D's conduct actually causes said severe emotional distress (SED). Statute of Limitations: statute of limitations for concurrent tort will usually control o IIED claims brought independently need independent facts. Outrageous conduct (liable): distributing naked photos of ex-wife, distributing names of jury, violate restraining order calling girl and friends over 100 times with threats of physical harm, policeman arguing with mother while girl raped by intruder. Merely Offensive conduct (not liable): priest sleeps with wife, racist comments, yelling Future Threats: P files motion for IIED after statute of limitations for battery passed, D liable for inducing emotional distress for threats of being killed in the future accompanying the battery. Bystander IIED: Family members (w/o bodily harm from SED); other bystanders with bodily harm Malicious Property Destruction: P owns pet horses, D sells them to slaughterhouse – liable. Recklessness: it is sufficient in some jurisdictions to be reckless with respect to a very obvious risk Special Susceptibility: If D has knowledge of P"s special susceptibility to distress, it"s enough for liability even if reasonable person in P"s position wouldn"t be distressed. Conflict w/ 1st amendment rights: as a matter of law, descriptions or depictions of public figures cannot be deemed outrageous. Damages Compensatory: Economic; medical expenses, lost wages, therapy, repair bills o Non-economic losses: pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment, lost life expectancy, loss of spouse Punitive: usually only for reckless or intentional conduct o Respondeat Superior: only punitive if consciously indifferent or deliberately ignorant. o Rationale: Punishment, Notice and Deterrence, aids in deterring monetary incentives for intentional torts Ratio to compensatory: less than 4:1 is acceptable, between 4:1 and 10:1 suspect, >10:1 dismissed or remanded Level of reprehensibility is considered. Liability insurance: doesn't cover intentional torts or willful and wanton behavior. o Duty to Defend: duty to provide lawyers and defense for negligence actions o Duty to Indemnify: duty to reimburse policy-holders Begin with: To establish a claim of __________ (negligence, battery, etc.), P must show _____________ (requirements). D will argue ____________ (requirements missing, defenses). Format: (use headings) name parties to be compared restate broad question, answer with broad thesis (P would likely make claim of X, Y, and Z against D1) state actions between named parties o explain clear and obviously satisfied elements discuss issue elements; elements not obviously satisfied, if at all o identify the cause for uncertainty outline possible resolutions for uncertainty • mention policy rationales o come to conclusion on issue elements come to summary conclusion on claim Issues: Forks in Law or Forks in Fact • take each permutation of parties in turn • take each cause of action in turn • check each element of each cause of action against the facts If... Then... My problem question has Point out the missing facts and set out the consequences that would incomplete facts follow according to different factual configurations My problem question has • Set out at the underlying rationale of the rule to work out whether novel facts the rule extends to the facts in question • Reason by analogy The parties in my problem Set out the consequences that would follow according to which version of question assert opposing the facts the court accepts versions of the facts The rule I must apply • Set out at the underlying rationale of the rule to work out whether contains ambiguous words the rule extends to the facts in question • Use maxims of interpretation • Look at the words in context of the rest of the statute The courts are divided on • Contrast the outcomes according to which version of the rule the which version of the rule to court applies apply • If appropriate, try to predict the rule the court will apply by considering the current composition of the Bench, trends, academic critique, extra-judicial writings, and so on CLAIMS Negligence: A prima facie negligence claim consists of the breach of a duty owed to the plaintiff to take care to avoid causing the plaintiff"s injury(s). 1.

Did D act? 2. Did D intend to cause in P the apprehension of imminent offensive or harmful contact? - Was D substantially certain of harm? - Did D intend assault or battery to someone/something else? 3. Did D"s actions cause such apprehension? - Were they the actual cause of the harm? - Were they the proximate cause of the harm? 4. Does D have a defense? - Sovereign immunity, Consent, Self-Defense 5. What are the damages? IIED: The prima facie tort of IIED occurs when a plaintiff experiences severe distress when a defendant employs extreme and outrageous conduct with the intention of inducing said distress in the plaintiff. 1. Was D"s conduct extreme and outrageous? - Merely offensive? 2. Did D intend to cause severe distress in P? - Did D recklessly disregard the possibility? - Was D aware of a special susceptibility of P? 3. Did D"s conduct actually cause distress? 4. Does D have a defense? Challenge elements. (No incapacity) 5. What are the damages?

Celebrity Pictures in Designer Jeans
Jessica Alba in J Brand Houlihan Cargo Pants
Jessica Alba was spotted wearing the famous J Brand Houlihan Cargo Pants with a denim vest. Jessica was caught having some fun after having breakfast with daughter Honor Marie and a friend in Beverly Hills, California. This is the second time we've spotted Jessica in these. I think these cargos have become their own celebrity. They have gotten much more attention than the celebs wearing them.

Transocean Ltd. commented on a report issued by proxy advisory service Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) regarding the company's Annual General Meeting, which will be held on May 17, 2013. The company issued the following statement in response to the ISS recommendation: "Transocean strongly disagrees with ISS's decision to reject only one of Icahn's three nominees, particularly due to their lack of relevant experience and their affiliations with Mr. Icahn. Transocean does not believe that Icahn or his nominees have offered a plan or strategy for the company other than the extraction of an unsustainable dividend that the company believes would be detrimental to shareholder value, and which ISS sensibly rejected. As with several other situations where ISS has supported dissident slates only to later see those dissident slates defeated by shareholders, we are confident that our shareholders will exercise independent judgment regardless of ISS' position, and we urge them to decisively defeat Mr. Icahn's nominees. We encourage shareholders to support our balanced approach to capital allocation in the interest of sustainable, long-term value creation and vote FOR the Board's highly qualified nominees, including Frederico F. Curado, Thomas W. Cason, Steven L. Newman, Robert M. Sprague and J. Michael Talbert. Transocean's approach to corporate governance is to regularly infuse fresh perspectives into an experienced and knowledgeable Board as evidenced by the nomination of Frederico F. Curado and the fact that six of the 12 independent directors have been added to the Board in the last two years. Transocean's Board firmly believes that Mr. Icahn's nominees would contribute no value. Based upon the nominees' current and past associations with Icahn we believe they are handpicked to pursue what the Board believes to be a misguided agenda that will compromise Transocean's long-term competitiveness by curtailing disciplined, high-return investment in its business in the interest of potential short-term gains. In the company's view, Mr. Icahn's nominees reflect his apparent lack of industry knowledge and an ignorance of the attributes necessary to lead a world-class offshore drilling contractor: among other weaknesses, they have limited international exposure of the company's key growth markets; generally lack financial and corporate structuring experience; have rarely worked in a service-oriented or capital-intensive industry; possess limited knowledge of the specialized operator - contractor business model; and have little apparent experience with complex international tax treaties and networks. Further, and importantly, the Board firmly believes that Icahn's nominees' platform is not in the best interest of all shareholders. Transocean's Board of Directors and management are committed to executing the company's strategy to maximize long-term shareholder value by maintaining a strong, flexible balance sheet, characterized by an investment grade rating on the company's debt; disciplined, high-return investment in the business; and a sustainable return of capital to shareholders with the goal of future increases in distributions once litigation uncertainties are further resolved. We believe the favorable ISS recommendation for the company's proposed $2.24 per share dividend reaffirms this prudent, balanced approach to value creation and underscores the company's view that Mr. Icahn lacks an understanding of the cyclical and capital-intensive nature of the offshore drilling industry and of the remaining litigation uncertainties that the company currently faces. The company urges shareholders to vote FOR Transocean's entire slate of highly-qualified and diverse Director nominees who we believe have the deep, relevant expertise and the history of achievement necessary to continue to execute strategies that position the company to maximize long-term shareholder value. Shareholders are encouraged to vote "FOR" all the company's proposals including the $2.24 per share dividend, the election of our five Director nominees, and the re-adoption of Board authority to issue shares out of the company's authorized share capital by promptly using the company's WHITE proxy card. Shareholders may review supplemental information on the proposals by visiting www.transoceanvalue.com. Shareholders who have questions about how to vote their shares, or need additional assistance, should contact Transocean's proxy solicitor, Innisfree M&A Incorporated, toll-free at 1-877-456-3507 (toll-free from the US and Canada) or +1 412-232-3651 (from other countries). Shareholders in the EU may also call Lake Isle M&A Incorporated, Innisfree's UK subsidiary, free-phone at 00 800 7710 9970, or direct at +44 20 7710 9960." www.deepwater.com

I came on Thursday night and stayed til Sunday lunchtime with Vanessa, in the company of several other writer friends, which meant late night chats about that thing that we do! I went to six events, and to sum it up I would say that while the concept of Small Wonder is fabulous and the organisers are to be applauded, it is, as most of these festivals must be, driven by commercial considerations, or, to use that lovely British phrase, "bums on seats". In other words: ticket sales and then book sales. Of course this is important since, sadly, there are no billionaire short-story-loving angels dispensing money to the few short story festivals that exist. But the upshot is that almost every writer is a "name", because otherwise many of the seats would be unfilled. So, as someone who loves to read experimental, non-traditional short stories from new voices, often published by small presses, much of the writing here didn't excite me.
Thinking about it, one of the reasons may be that there is only one space - albeit a very large converted barn - in which to hold the events, and so there is only ever one session at a time. If there was a second, smaller space, perhaps the big names could draw the crowds to subside the newer, riskier talents who might be talking only to a few keen and more adventurous readers and listeners. It would be a great shame to change the venue, Charleston is stunning and there is the scent of artistic endeavour in the air. But I read so many short story collections that just knock me sideways and I would love for these writers to reach the type of audiences that come to Small Wonder. Maybe I'm dreaming... but a girl can dream!
More specifically, though, the festival started badly for me but ended on a high. First, the low point: the event that kicked off my Small Wonder experience was one of those a short story lover hopes never to have to sit through, especially at a festival which celebrates the form. It was an "oh, the poor short story, why doesn't anyone want to read it?" type event, at which the question was even raised as to what the short story can do that, say, the novel can't. Oh, oh, oh: why even ask the question? Once you've read one great story, you know the answer. My blood pressure was rising dangerously.... and take this kind of thing very personally, perhaps too personally, but it just makes me MAD.
Thankfully, the excellent, sharply Scottish and very real writer Janice Galloway, whom I had heard so much about from Sara, cut through all of this nonsense to tell it like it is, as well as reading from her excellent stories. Thank you, Janice, for saving my health! Of course, I had to say something so, in the guise of a question - the final question! - I said how I didn't want to talk about the "problem with short stories" because I don't think there is a problem. The problem, I said, is that the pioneers taking the "risk" of publishing short story collections are the small presses, who do it for love and are often on the verge of financial ruin because of it. My question? "What did the panel think about this?"!! Apparently, although I was shaking from my public speaking and didn't notice, Janice Galloway applauded my question. And then she made the excellent point that these small presses make beautiful books and the reader just must go and search out these books. It's up to the reader. Yes, it is.
I approached her afterwards, we had a lovely chat, and she agreed to be interviewed for The Short Review to accompany a review of her new Collected Stories, which I promptly asked for from her publisher. So all wasn't completely dismal! (It was also great to meet Tom Lee, one of the others on the panel, a lovely writer whose first collection, Greenfly, we will be reviewing shortly!)
And the ending? Well, a session chaired by Alison MacLeod - a great writer and friend whose Fifteen Modern Tales of Attraction is a must-have collection - in which A. L Kennedy, one of my favourite writers, and Helen Dunmore, read from the short stories they were commissioned to write for the new Amnesty International anthology, Freedom, inspired by the anniversary of the UN Declaration of Human Rights. Two completely different stories, both deeply moving and beautifully written, and three highly intelligent and thoughtful writers discussing the book and the role of short stories. Fabulous, inspiring, unsettling. Alison introduced me to the woman from Amnesty afterwards, and I already have a review copy of the book, so watch this space and the Short Review for more on the book, including a giveaway and a blog post about how it all came about.
All in all, a great four days, for me personally too. I had flown from Israel to attend Small Wonder a few years ago on my own, and had found it quite a lonely experience, no-one to chat to, I was on the outside looking in. This time, within an hour of arriving, some lovely person - one of the founders of a shortly-to-be-launched short story venture, Spoken Ink, which will offer audio downloads of stories read by professional actors - wanted to meet me, has my book and "will be in touch"! I was introduced to the festival organiser, and was in the glorious company of Vanessa, Jo, Claudia, Selma, Vicky (congratulations on being an Asham finalist), Jenny, Marian, Geraldine, Adam, Alison... A very different view of events. It made me more confident, approaching people to give out Short Review postcards, sitting in the audience without that swirling in the pit of my stomach of longing to be "the ones with their names on the books". It was a great opportunity for me to see different stops on my personal journey, where I have traveled from and where I am.
Perhaps an opportune moment in this blog post to mention some small wonders of my own. Actually, pretty huge wonders. In the past two weeks I have been asked to judge not one but two short story competitions: I will be one of the judges of the next Bristol Short Story Prize, which is such a thrill and a great vote of confidence from my new home city. Joe Melia, the competition organiser, is a dynamic short story lover with so many ideas and I am delighted to be part of his plan for world short story domination! This year's competition will be launched in a few weeks, I will keep you updated.
The second offer is a double wonder: I am to be the new editor of Southword, the literary magazine of the Munster Literature Centre in Ireland which organises the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Prize and the annual festival which I read at last year. I will be taking over from Philip Ó Ceallaigh in December, and this one-year-post comes along with the honour of being the single judge of next year's Sean O'Foalain short story competition. Yes, I was bowled over to be asked. Bowled over.
I feel incredibly honoured and look forward to both of these responsibilities with great delight. Both competitions are judged strictly anonymously, so you can enter without any worries on that score - which is reassuring to me too. I will be reading the longlist of the Bristol Prize and every single entry of the Sean O'Faolain competition, and will report here on how it is to be on the other side of the process for a change.
A further surprise and delight: the three stories I have had broadcast on BBC Radio 4 were produced by Sweet Talk, a wonderful independent production company with whom I have become great friends. I had suggested that flash fiction could work in the Afternoon Reading slot (now three days a week, down from five), and Jeremy at Sweet Talk had mentioned this to the folks at Radio 4. Or rather: he cajoled, persuaded and assured them it could work. And now... they've said yes to a flash fiction week of stories! And not only this but, gulp, a week of my flash fiction! Yes, I know, I was on the floor too. Jeremy told me yesterday that it's now official and will be broadcast in April next year, so now we have to pick around 12 flash stories. I am unbelievably excited and I hope this open the doors to much more flash fiction on Radio 4, one of the best - and best-paying - British venues for short stories.
All of this feels to me like the clearest signal that our move here is the right one for me at this stage in my career. I get to travel around the country meeting people who want to talk about short stories (four or five more events in the next few weeks alone), and I am privileged enough to be asked for my opinion on the precious stories that are sent in to competitions, which I know only to well is really a great act of faith on the part of a writer. Will I be writing at all? I hope so! I have applied for a grant for writers working on their second book, so that would most definitely help. And I will be attempting to fathom my way through the Arts Council application forms, we will see how that goes. (A new review of the White Road and Other Stories on Bookmunch wonderfully entitled "Eschewing the rote delineation of new facts and stats in favour of zesty, obtuse life" is a great boost!)
And to put back some of this wonderful karma, I took part in Sue Guiney's Pay it Forward and so, in return for her sending me her excellent poetry play Dreams of May and a beautiful pendant, I am to "pay it forward" by offering to send a gift to the first three people who comment here saying that they agree to pay it forward too. How about it?
And last but not least, thank you to Kelly for the Kreative blogger award. After writing this blog post it might be more accurate to call it the lengthy-waffling-blog award, but I am honoured! I promise I will do all the things I am supposed to do in the next blog post.
I'm going offline now til tomorrow night, it's Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, a day of fasting and contemplation, so for those of you observing it, may it pass smoothly.

Let Children Be Children: Lewis Wickes Hine's Crusade Against Child Labor
A telling look at the industrialization of America, this photographic exhibition from the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film in Rochester, NY reveals the circumstances that poor working children endured until legislation against child labor prevailed as late as 1938. Lewis Wickes Hine (American, 1874-1940) was a sociologist whose photographs captured his abiding concern for children, immigrants, and working-class people. He was hired by the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC) in 1906 to document the harsh conditions in which children worked. Hine spent ten years photographing in the canneries, coal mines, cotton mills, farms, and sweatshops common during the early 20th century. Through the use of photography, Hine and the NCLC gained the attention of government officials and aroused public sentiment against child labor practices in the United States.

On the Brink: New Work by Nnenna Okore

Influenced by the textures, colors and landscapes of her Chicago milieu as well as the more rural environment of the small town in Nigeria where she was raised, Okore's new fiber and paper works explore the fluidity of life, finding beauty in the inevitable processes of aging and decay. Okore is a professor of art at Chicago's North Park University and was the recipient of a Fulbright Scholar Award in 2013.

Power 150: The list you wish you were on
February 16, 2014 4:30 AM
From CEOs and politicians to philanthropists and entrepreneurs, our Power 150 list is a snapshot of those leading some of NE Ohio's most influential organizations and in a position to move the region forward.
for just a snapshot of some of those who are helping to lead the region into the future.
There were no specific criteria used in selecting the "Power 150," nor were they chosen through a nomination process.
Rather, the editorial staff collectively gathered names, taking into consideration each person's role in Northeast Ohio and that of their organization. An effort also was made to include a range of people, businesses and industries.
In some instances — as was the case with Sandra Pianalto, president, CEO, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland; Lester Lefton, president, Kent State University; and Luis Proenza, president, University of Akron — a planned departure from a position of leadership resulted in exclusion from the list.
Professional and civic organization involvement was limited to five listings per person for space considerations.
The "Power 150" list is an updated version of the "Who's Who" published in 2012. New listings are designated with as asterisk.
