Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, in another “Listen and Learn” episode, we’re focusing on assumption of risk as a defense to negligence in Tort law.
In this episode we discuss:
- A review of the rule for assumption of risk
- What are some common situations that trigger this defense?
- Express vs. implied assumption of risk
- The Professional Rescuer Rule
- How a small change in the facts can alter the outcome of the question
- Why your analysis on a law school essay is ultimately more important than your conclusion
Thanks for listening!
