Exhibit

Torts, example notes

Duty (9/22)

Default: everyone owes a duty of reasonable care to foreseeable plaintiffs.

Cardozo in Palsgraf: duty runs only to those inside the zone of foreseeable danger. Andrews in dissent: a duty is owed to everyone, and the limiting work belongs to proximate cause instead.

Prof: we follow Cardozo unless told otherwise, but be ready to argue both.

No general duty to rescue a stranger. Exceptions: you created the peril, you began a rescue and left them worse off, or a special relationship exists (common carrier, innkeeper, employer, custodian).

Land possessors: at common law the duty owed turned on the entrant's status, invitee, licensee, or trespasser. Many states have collapsed

Exam-style question, written from the marked line

A conductor dislodges a package. It explodes, and the blast knocks over a scale at the far end of the platform, injuring a passenger standing there. Under the approach the notes say to follow, what is the strongest reason she loses?

  1. A.She was outside the zone of foreseeable danger, so no duty ran to her.
  2. B.The explosion was an intervening cause that broke the chain of causation.
  3. C.The conductor's conduct was reasonable, so there was no breach.
  4. D.She suffered no physical impact from the package itself.

From your notes: “duty runs only to those inside the zone of foreseeable danger”

Question 1 of 3

A grocery store employee mopped an aisle and left no warning sign. Ten minutes later a shopper slipped and broke a wrist. The store's manual requires signs after mopping. In the shopper's negligence action, what is the strongest basis for finding breach?

How it works

  1. Paste or upload your class notes

    Whatever you already took down. No importing your life into a new app first.

  2. Gavel turns them into exam style questions

    Each one cites the line of your notes it came from, so a wrong answer shows you exactly what to reread.

  3. Drill them and see where you need the most practice

    Start a smart drill and it leans on your attempt history, so the questions you keep getting wrong come up more often.

  4. What you miss becomes a flashcard

    One tap on a wrong answer. It comes back right before you would forget it, and less often as you learn it.

These three come from the shared sample bank, so anyone can answer them. Questions written from your own notes look the same, plus the line they came from. The full free sample adds one fact pattern with several questions on it. Take the full free sample.

Questions students ask first

How are these different from flashcard-app questions?
Each question cites the passage of your notes it tests and names the rule it turns on. Review a question and every choice carries its own explanation, so a miss shows you the mistake and not only the answer.
Does this only work if my notes are already good?
No, and that is the point. Questions cite the exact passage they test, and outlines and study guides flag what is missing instead of quietly filling it in, so thin notes surface as gaps to fix rather than as invented doctrine.
What stops the AI from making things up?
Questions cite the passage of your notes they test, outlines and study guides flag gaps rather than filling them with invented doctrine, and briefs sit beside the case text so you can check them line by line. AI output is never presented as legal authority on its own.
Are my class notes private?
Yes. Notes, outlines, briefs, and everything generated from them are scoped to your account. They are not pooled into a shared question bank or used to build content for other students.

The first step is work you already did.
