Solution
The trial court denied UCLA summary judgment. UCLA filed a petition for
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
writ of mandate, requesting an order directing trial court to enter
h h h h h h hh h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
summary judgment in its favor. The Court of Appeal granted the petition.
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h hh h h h h h h
The Supreme Court granted review, superseding the opinion of the Court
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h hh
of Appeal.
h h h h
The Supreme Court held that the university had duty
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h of care to protect
h h h h h h
students from foreseeable violence during the chemistry
h h h h hh h h h h h h h h h h lab, reversing a h h h h
long line of precedent.
h h h h h h h h
This case
h h is different from h h the Avila case
h h in that UCLA had h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
h h knowledge of the potential harm that the student could do. In the
h h h h h h h h hh h h h h h h h h h h h h
h hAvila case, the conduct was such that it could not be anticipated
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h hh
h hexcept perhaps the
h h possibility that players have disobeyed
h h the rules h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
h h of the
h hgame, but there was no direct knowledge about the pitcher’s
h h hh h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
h htendencies to bean batters. In this case, UCLA was aware of the
h h h h h h h h h h h h hh h h h h h h h h
h hproblems the student had and was working with the student. The case
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
hhwas a warning to universities about the importance of curbing the
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
h hbehaviors of students and then, when necessary removing them from the
h h h h h h hh h h h h h h h h h h h h
h hcampus as a danger to themselves and other students. The court noted
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h hh h h h h h h
h hthat the scope of the
h h duty is
h h based on the extent of the
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
relationship the student had with the university.
h h h h h h h h h h h h
The immunity of government entities was curbed in Avila and now the
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
courts are simply dealing with the concept of duty. What is the duty
h h h h h h hh h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
of government entities? How far does it extend? What actions must
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h hh h h h h h h
they take?

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

speed for their roadways. Yet, surveys indicate that nearly 100% of

us admit to driving above the speed limit. What philosophy of
h h h h h h h h h h h h hh h h h h h h h h
law do we follow when we decide which laws to obey, how
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h hh h h
closely we follow those laws, and when we will follow them?

Is there a risk to society when we make our own decisions
h h h h h h hh h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
about following the law?

Solution
Speeding is an example

h h That is, there is
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
h h a law,
