Document Summary

Midterm is chapter 1, 2 and as much of chapter 3 that we get through: only cases on midterm are the ones we get through in class (burger king. February 14th lecture case usually does show up) When the defendant gets a complaint they have three options: 1. Plaintiff goes to court and judge gives defendant second chance. If they ignore again the plaintiff has to prove to judge what actual damages are and enter default judgement against damages. Usually the wealthy do it but generally bad idea: 2. Affirmative defenses (legal defenses you have against claims against you-page 6 of answer document) Counterclaim-claim you, the defendant, has against the plaintiff. E. g. you are an auditor and you don"t get paid for auditing. In the answer defendant may have a counterclaim for countless malpractice-the auditor screwed up the audit so we did not pay him. Defendant has to ask for jury in answer and plaintiff in complaint.
