Assignments will only be graded up until the number of words allowed. In other words, if you write more than is required you will not be graded on the extra words. Legal writing values concise and precise arguments. These guidelines will assist you with working on your clarity and brevity.
Your task is to discuss the nature and scope of these defenses and privileges:
What is the effect of successfully asserting a defense or privilege to a battery or a trespass:
How far do the defenses and privileges go? That is, is the tortfeasor completely exonerated from any and all liability for the tort, or are there limitations?
And, what legal or social policies are served by allowing a tortfeasor to assert a defense or privilege?
Attribution to specific sources or materials in the text or elsewhere will enhance your essay.
