We’re in the Final Stretch, Goats. Let’s Talk Defense.
This is it. We've made it to the last subject in the intentional torts lineup:
Defenses.
But instead of dumping the whole thing on you at once, I'm breaking it into four smaller, bite-sized pieces so your brain doesn't melt through your eye sockets.
First up:
Self Defense/Defense of Others & PropertyFind it in the
Torts course.

Pretty simple. General partnerships are dangerous for this reason.
In this one, you will learn and love:
- When you can hit someone, and when it becomes straight up assault
- Why timing matters (you can't punch someone 30 minutes later because you decided you were mad enough to do something about it)
- That force must be necessary and proportional
- Why honest, reasonable mistakes can save you
- And why defending your hippo requires a polite request first
We also cover defending other people, your land, and your stuff. And we look at the wild limits of what “reasonable” looks like on the bar exam.
Let's finish strong goats!
