1. In what situations will a court impose a strict liability standard instead of a negligence standard? Provide a real world example of a strict liability case. Is imposing this standard fair? Are strict liability standards fair as a general rule?
2. The primary function of tort law is to compensate people for harm that has been caused by the actions of others. Sometimes "others" refers to business owners. Business owners are seen as easy targets because of their "deep pockets". Is that fair?
