Also, you use Bluebook citations format, while citing for this assignment. Apply what you have learned to various hypothetical situations and determine whether the defendant has committed a tort and whether he/she has any defenses. You may choose to argue from the plaintiff’s or defendant’s point of view or you may take a more objective approach, as if you were the judge deciding the case. The crucial point is that you must state what facts and assumptions you are relying on in finding whether or not an action for an intentional tort exists. All of the characters below are adults. 1.Joe and James are in a bar and have had a couple of drinks. They start arguing over which team is better: the Green Sox or the Orange Sox. After James insults Joe’s team (the Green Sox), Joe punches him in the face. James retaliates by grabbing a bottle of tequila from the bar and bashing it over Joe’s head, seriously injuring him. 2.Chuck and Bill are hockey players on opposing teams. Chuck is skating toward Bill with the hockey puck and it looks like he just may be able to score a goal. Bill prepares to “check” him (use his body to bump Chuck and get the puck away from him) and, feeling especially angry that Chuck has recently started dating his ex-girlfriend, Bill performs an especially powerful and vicious check on Chuck, resulting in Chuck’s head slamming into the ice and killing him. 3.Sally pulls out a toy gun and points it at Cheryl, demanding her wedding ring and all of her money. Because Cheryl is friends with Sally, she realizes Sally is joking and refuses to hand over the ring or money. 4.Sally pulls out a toy gun and points it at Cheryl, demanding her wedding ring and all of her money. Cheryl believes Sally has a real gun and hands over everything she asks for. Cheryl later sues Sally for assault but Sally defends herself by stating the gun was not real. 5.Police officer Sam sees Jeri driving and decides he would like to ask Jeri for a date. He pulls Jeri over, stating that Jeri has a broken tail light (which is true). Sam pretends to check Jeri’s driver’s license, etc. for an entire hour and states that unless Jeri agrees to meet him for drinks at 5:00 p.m., Sam is taking Jeri to the police station. Jeri balks and asks Sam whether police are supposed to be “doing this kind of thing.” Sam holds Jeri at the side of the road for another hour, “checking” various police databases (until 5 p.m.), until Jeri agrees to go with Sam for drinks.
