False Imprisonment | Intentional Torts | (Tort Law)

This video provides an overview of the Intentional Tort of False Imprisonment. False imprisonment is the third of the intentional torts in a 1L torts class. To prove a prima facie case for false imprisonment the plaintiff must show the defendant intentionally acted to place him in a physically bounded space, he was aware of the confinement, and no reasonable means of escape existed.

We define the subject, examine its critical pieces, and go over a few examples. It relies heavily upon the Restatement (Second) of Torts to substantiate its information. Use it to reinforce what you've learned in class or to review for an exam.
