Case Study #1: Students for Fair Tuition and GSU President (incl. Mrs. Pimply)

In the case of the "Students for Fair Tuition" and Giant State University's employees (Mrs. Pimply and the GSU President) there were many notable concerns and events that took place that create valid reasoning to review possibility of crime having been committed on that day. A tort is once again not a criminal act, but rather a small offense usually handled on a civil level where as crimes (for being of more extreme concerns of law violations) would be handled on a federal/governmental level. From the beginning when Steve Steel and his hostile appearing student mob of protestors forcefully barge their way into the secretary's office of Mr. Chandeler of which was run by the secretary Prudence Pimply there is clear act of negligence. Since negligence is any failure from a party to condition or maintain reasonable caution that could result in any form of damage to a possible victim there are potentially multiple forms of this. Steve and his students forced their way into the office of Mrs. Pimply and even went as far as to purposely damage University property when trying to kick down the door to the president's office and office property of Mrs. Pimply even when slapping the phone out of her hand. This shows clear acts of negligence, but now with the interaction only slightly described between Steve and his students and with Mrs. Pimply can bring more concerns of unlawful acts. Mrs. Pimply of which was just at the current location during that time doing her normal daily job at the University when unexpectantly being approached and forced into hostile interaction with Steve Steel. Upon this interaction she had a weapon which looked flawlessly real to the eye, but was fake was pointed at her head with threats to blow her head off if she was to reach for a way of contacting police or try and escape. The gun

    In week four’s theory practice, we reviewed the case scenario of Big Time Toymaker vs Chou in regards to determining the validity of a contract. As we’ve reviewed, an agreement or mutual assent is of course essential to a valid contract but the law imputes to a person an intention corresponding to the reasonable meaning of his words and acts. If his words and acts, judged by a reasonable standard, manifest an intention to agree, it is immaterial what may be the real but unexpressed state of his mind (Melvin, 2010).…
