Description
This torts exam, given by law school dean and professor William T. Muse on May 18, 1966, begins with the question:
While canoeing up a river A's canoe capsized. A easily swam to a nearby island owned by B. A went to B and asked B to lend him a rowboat to get across to the mainland, a half mile away. Upon B's refusal, A jumped into B's rowboat, but before he could cast off B grabbed him and pulled him out of the boat. A landed a severe blow on B's jaw, knocking him unconscious. C, B's son, intervened at this point with a shotgun and began firing at A who took flight and swam across to the mainland. What tort or torts, if any, have been committed? By whom? Against whom? Why? Why not?
