Consider… 1.2 jj


After he enrolled in the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), Damon
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j


Thompson experienced auditory hallucinations. He believed other students in the
j j jj j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j


classroom and dormitory were criticizing him. School administrators eventually
j j j j jj j j j j j j j j j j j j


learned of Thompson’s delusions and attempted to provide mental health
j j j j j j jj j j j j j j j j j j j j


treatment. However, one morning Thompson stabbed fellow student Katherine Rosen
j j j j jj j j jj j j j j j j j j j j


during a chemistry lab. Rosen sued the university and several of its employees
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j jj j j j j j j j j j j


for negligence, arguing they failed to protect her from Thompson’s foreseeable
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j jj j j jj


violent conduct.

UCLA is a state educational institution. Based on the decision in the Avila case,

what should the court decide? Consider whether UCLA has a duty to

pending on which way the court decides on the issues of liability and duty? Be

Solution
The trial court denied UCLA summary judgment. UCLA filed a petition for writ of
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j


mandate, requesting an order directing trial court to enter summary judgment in its
j j jj j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j


favor. The Court of Appeal granted the petition. The Supreme Court granted review,
j j j j j j j j jj j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j


superseding the opinion of the Court of Appeal.
j j j j j j j j j j jj j j j j




The Supreme Court held that the university had duty of care to protect students
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j


from foreseeable violence during the chemistry lab, reversing a long line of
j j jj j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j


precedent.

This case is different from the Avila case in that UCLA had knowledge of
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j


j jthe potential harm that the student could do. In the Avila case, the conduct was
j j j j jj j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j


such that it could not be anticipated except perhaps the possibility that players
j j j j j j j j j j j j jj j j j j j j j j j j j j


j jhave disobeyed the rules of the game, but there was no direct knowledge
j j j j j j j j j j j j jj j j j j j j j j j j


about the pitcher’s tendencies to bean batters. In this case, UCLA was aware of
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j jj j j j j j j


the problems the student had and was working with the student. The case was a
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j jj j j


warning to universities about the importance of curbing the behaviors of students
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j


and then, when necessary removing them from the campus as a danger to
j j jj j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j


themselves and other students. The court noted that the scope of the duty is
j j j j j j jj j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j


j jbased on the extent of the j j j j j j j j j j


relationship the student had with the university. j j j j j j j j j j j j




The immunity of government entities was curbed in Avila and now the courts are
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j


simply dealing with the concept of duty. What is the duty of government
j j jj j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j


entities? How far does it extend? What actions must they take?

Consider… 1.3 jj


Every state, county, and city has laws that regulate the maximum speed for
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j


their roadways. Yet, surveys indicate that nearly 100% of us admit to driving
j j jj jj j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j


above the speed limit. What philosophy of law do we follow when we
j j j j jj j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j


decide which laws to obey, how closely we follow those laws, and when
j j j j j j j j jj j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j


we will follow them? Is there a risk to society when we make our own
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j jj j j j j j j j j j j j j j j


decisions about following the law?
j j j j j j j j j j




Solution
Speeding is an example of the norm shifting. That is, there is a law, but
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j


j jfew people follow the law and the result is that the law becomes meaningless.
j j j j jj j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j


Some philosophers fear that disregard of the law on an individual basis could mean
j j j j j j j j jj j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j


that we are introducing anarchy—the law has no effect. Others would follow the
j j j j j j j j j j jj j j j j j j j j j j j j j j


normative standard of doing what is acceptable to others.
