REVIEW QUESTION SOLUTIONS
1. Bryant Gunderson is a sole proprietor with a successful bungee-jumping
business. He is considering incorporating his business. What levels and
sources of law would affect and govern the process of incorporation?
Solution:
Gunderson will be incorporated under state legislative law. He will
have to make tax elections under federal law. Local zoning laws will
affect issues such as where the corporation can operate, signs, etc.
His employees will be affected by state compensation laws, federal
labor laws, and federal pension plan regulations. In short, there
really is not a set of laws that will not affect his business.
2. Jeffrey Stalwart has just been arrested for ticket scalping outside the
Great Western Forum in Los Angeles. Jeffrey sold a ticket to a Taylor
Swift concert to an intense fan for $4,200; the face value of the
ticket was $1,200. Ticket scalping in Los Angeles is a misdemeanor.
Will Jeffrey’s court proceedings be civil or criminal?
Solution:
Jeffrey will be going through a criminal procedure; if a fan sues him,
it will be a civil process.
3. The U.S. Golf Association put a new rule in 2016 that prohibits players
from anchoring their putters to their chests. Tim Clark, a golfer from
South Africa, who has won 10 championships, anchors his putter to his
chest and reacted, “We are not going to roll over and just accept this.
We have been put in a position where we have to fight for our
livelihoods.” 1 The putter costs $1,247. Explain what source of law is
involved. How can the rule be challenged? Where would the golfers go to
court?

Solution:
This is a private law. However, the rule affects players who have been
holding their putters to their chests and have won championships using
that method of play. The judicial challenge would be in the United
States and would be based on whether the private law violated some
right, such as a constitutional protection.
4. Define and contrast the following:
a. Civil law and criminal law
b. Substantive law and procedural law
c. Common law and statutory law
d. Private law and public law
Solution:
a. Civil law—rights among and between individuals; remedies of damages
and injunctions
Criminal law—establishes societal standards of conduct, jail, and fines
as punishment
b. Substantive law—establishes rights and duties
Procedural law—establishes process for enforcement of laws and
rights
c. Common law—non-codified law; in court cases
Statutory law—codified law
d. Private law—contracts, leases, rules of workplace
Public law—laws passed by some governmental agency
5. They call them “floating bacchanals.” Offshore from Florida and
California cities, sunseekers take their rafts and boats and tie them
together as they share adult beverages, music, swimming, and the sun.
However, after a day of floating, many involved in the floating
community are so drunk that they cannot get their rafts and boats back
to shore. In addition, safety patrols have difficulties gaining access
to act when there are arguments. What level of law could be directed to
control these types of activities? Where would those laws be
promulgated?
Solution:
This would and has been a focus for city ordinances. Regulations have
included requiring permits and safety regulations on tying boats and
floats together. Additionally, there are more safety personnel added
with the funds from issuing permits. At the state level, the penalties
for drunkenness could be expanded to include operation of rafts and
boats.
6. Classify the following subject matters as substantive or procedural
laws:
a. Traffic law on speeding
b. Small claims court rules
c. Evidence
d. Labor law
e. Securities
