Torts rule statement- Battery, Assult, IIED, False Imp.,
I am working on my rule statements for Battery, Assault, IIED, False Imprisonment, Damages as they apply, Necessity, trespass to property and chattel, and possible defenses to all of these. I am having trouble deciding what to weed out and what is important. Any suggestions or examples to help? My 1st midterm is Wed.

It may seem a bit much, but this style will make the exam very easy for your professor to grade, and hitting upon each element will surely earn you many points that others might miss with a less analytical approach.
