It's a beautiful day for bar prep, goats.
We continue Intentional Torts in the
Torts course with a new module on
Assault.
Pretty simple. General partnerships are dangerous for this reason.
Pretty simple. General partnerships are dangerous for this reason.
We're breaking it down with:
- Fear ≠ required - you just have to perceive the hit coming
- Toy guns, fake threats, empty hands - it’s not about what’s real, it’s about what feels real
- Conditional threats? Usually no - unless the other person controls the condition. Then it’s on.
- “I was just being romantic 🥺” - congrats, you're still getting sued
We also get into:
- When words can be enough (spoiler: it’s rare but deadly)
- Why Hasbulla can assault you
- And how you can sue someone even if they chicken out at the last second
This one's a bar exam classic - short, tricky, and packed with bait. You’ll see it. You’ll nail it. Then you’ll laugh at the people who didn’t know you can get sued for a menacing stare and a fake Glock.
Let’s go, Goats. Time to get that point.
