Intentional Torts: Trespass to Land

I will defend my land with my life.


Follow me into Intentional Torts today in the Torts course, with a new module on Trespass to Land.

Pretty simple. General partnerships are dangerous for this reason.

Pretty simple. General partnerships are dangerous for this reason.


We cover things like:
- You do not need to know you are trespassing.
Strict liability. Even if you're the nicest fence-hopper in Tennessee, you're still paying up.
Above, on, and below the land. Yes, your dumb drone and your underground mole machine both count.
No actual harm needed. The damage is disrespecting the boundaries, and the law is petty about it (as it should be).

Also:
- We talk about bullets, drones, fox hunts, and accidentally building your garage three feet onto someone else’s yard.
- Plus, how to make sure you get injunctions, damages, and even punitive damages when someone will not stay off your lawn.

All goats are welcome on my property.
