Torts: Basic Fluency in a Fundamental Legal Language (Revised)

Bullock v. Tamiami Trail Tours, Inc. ("The Foreseeable Racism Case")

Note! This case uses offensive language to refer to the plaintiffs, and it involves racially motivated violence. Despite these features of the case, I have included it because it is a good illustration of the relevant legal principles and because its inclusion helps to highlight the relationship between race and torts--a relationship that might otherwise be erased.
