  • Intentional Torts: Explore battery, assault, IIED, false imprisonment, trespass, and the role of intent in cases like Garratt v. Dailey and Fisher v. Carrousel Motor Hotel.
  • Damages: From compensatory to punitive, we'll unpack how damages are calculated and the factors courts consider (Still v. Baptist Hospital and Hodges v. Toof & Co.).
  • Privileges and Defenses: Get clarity on consent, self-defense, defense of others, and property defense, including lessons from Katko v. Briney.
