Torts
Torts
Torts questions usually ask who owed a duty, what standard applies, whether causation is proven, and which damages or defenses change the result.
Core Buckets
- Intentional torts, privileges, negligence, duty, breach, causation, damages, and defenses.
- Strict liability, products liability, nuisance, defamation, privacy, misrepresentation, and economic torts.
- Vicarious liability, joint liability, comparative fault, assumption of risk, and immunities.
Practice Move
Do not jump from breach to liability. Write cause in fact, proximate cause, and damages separately when the facts make them contestable.
