2012 “Spot the Tort” Contest with my 1Ls at the University of Memphis law school:
This just seems like a bad situation waiting to happen. I’m not sure if it’s a tort but it seems like someone is going to get hurt. This bench is at bus stop across from the law school. — Rachel Cade
McClurg note: Yes, I would say this is definitely a potential tort, assuming the city had actual or constructive notice of it. In fact, “a bad situation waiting to happen” is a good way to describe a potential tort.
