Igor is driving down the street when he runs a redlight. Adley crashes into Igor in the middle of the intersection. Then, Carter, who is slightly speeding, comes along and crashes into both of them. Adley is severely injured and sues Igor and Carter for negligence. However, Igor and Carter are able to prove that Adley was speeding, and that Adley’s injuries would not have been so severe if he was not speeding. The jury ultimately finds that Adley is 30% at fault, that Carter is 20% at fault, and that Igor is 50% at fault. Adley’s damages are $100,000.  How much does Adley recover from Igor and Carter under the doctrine of contributory negligence, and “pure”, “less than”, and “no greater than” comparative fault?

Boris, quite literally, wrote the book on dealing with academic stress/overload. In his work titled Burnout: A Quick Fire, he details many of his experiences both attending and tutoring at the University of Florida, utilizing anecdotes to make suggestions on how to survive as a scholar. Doing battle for many years against some of the most rigid and time-consuming curriculums the school has to offer, his work has become iconic on campus, often seen just about everywhere in its well-known blue pages. Having recently retired from tutoring to focus on his own career, Boris was able to make time to submit a copyright for his book which was approved. Being the sole owner and distributor of his work, Boris has not licensed with any vendors to sell his book. However, his former employer (arguing that Boris had written some of the book on company time even though he had been reprimanded for neglecting his normal duties to do so) has seen fit to sell copies of Boris’s book that they produced from a singular copy they had purchased (and proceeded to mass reproduce using their industrial copy machines). Under which of the following elements of copyright would Boris’s former employer be permitted to do this given the current circumstances?

Abner had just bought a new dirt bike and was riding it around town for the first time. Abner was curious how fast the dirt bike could go. So, Abner put the bike in fifth gear and pulled back the throttle as far as it could go. Abner, going full speed, approached a redlight and crosswalk with Rollie walking her dog across the road. Abner slammed on the front brake, but the bike kept sliding forward and hit Rollie, who suffered severe personal injuries as a result of the accident. Rollie sues Abner for negligence. Abner’s main defense is that he was new to riding dirt bikes and had no idea that it would take that long to stop. Will Abner’s lack of experience with the dirt bike be a defense?
