In this episode, we move beyond theory and watch the law’s favorite imaginary character face real-life legal drama. We explore how courts decide what’s foreseeable, what behavior counts as reasonable, and what happens when someone says:
👉 “I didn’t think that would happen.”
You’ll learn:
- How juries decide what’s “normal” behavior
- Why texting and driving is a perfect case study in unreasonableness
- How lawyers build (and destroy) the Reasonable Person in court
- Why your 10-year-old chasing a soccer ball might be judged differently than your 40-year-old uncle
- Whether someone can be reasonable and still be legally liable
Plus: banana peels, glass vases, and that one sibling who always breaks things.
Law School In Plain English continues with simple, smart, and well designed episodes for real listeners (not just law students).
