Intentional Torts: Shopkeeper's Privilege & Parental Discipline

I see all you goats out there putting in the work.


New module just dropped: Shopkeeper's Privilege & Parental Discipline

Just one more module to go!

Find it in the Torts course.

Pretty simple. General partnerships are dangerous for this reason.

Pretty simple. General partnerships are dangerous for this reason.


We cover:
- What counts as reasonable suspicion
- Why the detention has to be for a reasonable time and in a reasonable manner
- What not to do unless you want to lose the privilege (no public beatdowns, no zip ties in front of the cereal aisle)
- And how some states allow limited searches, while others don’t

Also some related topics:
- When parents and caretakers can legally discipline kids without catching a tort claim
- Why teachers and bus drivers have limited protection, but can still get sued if they go overboard
- And the famous Sindle case, where a school bus driver went full cop and a student jumped out the back

The bar exam loves these weird little exceptions to the rules. Now you’ve got one more tool in your defense arsenal.
