How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that one disciplinary action for an assault at a campus protest did not make foreseeable a subsequent assault in a dorm room: “Our view of foreseeability is not nearly wide enough to include a possible result, but deals more with the probability of that result”
• The plaintiff has the burden to produce “evidence of a duty that was breached and proximately caused the injuries sustained.”
• landlord/tenant, reversing jury verdict based on “insufficient evidence of a breach of the duty of reasonable and ordinary care”
• “Only after establishing that a duty does indeed exist must we consider what that duty is and whether sufficient evidence exists to prove that a defendant, by action or inaction, breached that duty.”
