The objectives for Chapter 6 include a basic overview of tort law In Chapter 6, you need to know the two broad categories of torts, they are, Intentional Torts and Negligence.  You should know the elements of each intentional tort as well as all of the elements of negligence.  The most important cases to note in Chapter 6 are:  Squish La Fish v. Thomco  https://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-11th-circuit/1115956.html  Palsgraf v. Long Island Railroad https://www.casebriefsummary.com/palsgraf-v-long-island-r-co/    and Fuerschbach.    This chapter is designed to support general objectives 1, 2, 3 and 4 in your syllabus

Read Chapters Six and pay particular attention to the "test yourself" segments.

Do the Assignments listed below for chapter 6.

Chapter 6 - On page 141, write a brief paper on the discussion question.  Must be at least 800 words on the topic of "Are most accidents and injuries covered by tort law?" and "Why or why not?"  This assignment is directly related to the objective regarding the category of negligence Torts and you should discuss the elements of negligence torts.  It would be a good idea to discuss at least some defenses to negligence torts, as well.  

Also, do case question #2 on page 141, Newsom v. Thalhimer Brothers, 901 S.Wd.2d 365, Ct. App., Tenn. (1994).  Here is a link to the case.  You may have to copy and paste some of the links I give you:  https://law.justia.com/cases/tennessee/court-of-appeals/1994/901-s-w-2d-365-2.html  Answer the question thoroughly about whether or not the Plaintiff had a case for false imprisonment and tell me why or why not.  Remember, these cases thoroughly discuss the subject matter and there is a correct answer.  You can certainly express your opinion about whether or not the answer that the court came up with was justified, but when you discuss what the court held, then tell me that and tell me why they held as they did.  This case is a good discussion of intentional torts and their impact on business.
