Tuesday audio. Everyone needs to spend some time learning about the MacIntyre case.
We continue with Questions ## 43 and 44, the letter from Taylor to Ross about Jesse being sensitive. What claim or defense does that go to and why? What is the conditioning fact for it and how can the plaintiff establish it?
We then move to Policy-Based Exclusions. Each of these exclusions can be justified as improving the truth-finding process and as serving public policies extraneous to litigation; identify both rationales for each of these rules. Consider the role FRE 403 plays in each of these. Consider how FRE 407 applies in the following products-liability cases:
π purchases a product in 2020; the accident occurs in 2021; the company redesigns the produc in 2022.
π purchases a product in 2020; the company changes the product in 2021; the accident occurs in 2022.
π purchases the product in 2020; the accident (caused by defects in the steering system) occurs in 2021; the company redesigns the braking system in 2022.
