Tort law permeates society and daily life. Think of a tort issue in your life or in the life of someone close to you. Describe the issue. Perhaps you did not pursue litigation, but after gaining knowledge in this class, do you think you should have? Perhaps you pursued litigation and lost. Is it clear why you lost? Do not feel compelled to tell more information than you are comfortable discussing. Please try to incorporate legal terminology where relevant. Specifically, identify the elements of the tort cause of action and apply facts to each element. If the case is not clear-cut, it will be where an element is not clearly met. If an element of a cause of action is clearly not met, there is not a legitimate cause of action.
