Response to Case Study Questions

Write and respond on the case study questions of Court of Appeals of New York (Meinhard v. Salmon)

First, read a few short cases to dive into the topic: Meinhard v. Salmon, Pierson v. Post, and Moore v. Regents of UCLA. Next, read Nudge, pages 31-73.

1) What behavior is the court in Meinhard trying to incentivize?

2) What is the “right of occupancy” in a wild animal, according to Pierson?

3) What kinds of issues of duty and information does the Moore case raise?

4) When do the authors of Nudge argue that people especially need “nudges”?
