CA Q 7. WHERE did the court get this definition of "battery"? (i.e., what precedent case or other legal authority did the court use as the basis for stating this as the DEFINITION of "battery.")

Notice that the court did not cite any precedent case as authority for this definition. Instead, the court cited the Restatement (First) of Torts.

WHAT EXACTLY IS THE RESTATEMENT of Torts?

WHERE did it come from?

What legal authority does it have?


These are some VERY IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS that "intellectual curiosity" requires you to ask! We will explore some of these questions in our class discussions.
