Negligence 101 Class 1

Professor Stephanie Ledesma Washington introduces first-year law students to the foundations of negligence law, with a focused examination of the duty of care. Beginning with an overview of negligence as a structured legal claim, the video explains how courts evaluate conduct under the Restatement (Third) of Torts and why negligence is grounded in behavior rather than intent. The lecture walks through the elements of negligence, emphasizing duty as a threshold legal determination made by courts, and explores when duty arises, when it does not, and why the law resists imposing liability for mere inaction. The session culminates in a detailed analysis of Palsgraf v. Long Island Railroad Co., highlighting the competing frameworks of Judges Cardozo and Andrews and explaining how their disagreement over foreseeability shaped the evolution of modern negligence doctrine. This video sets the stage for understanding how contemporary courts analyze duty under the Restatement (Third) and why limits on negligence liability are essential to a workable legal system.
