A water pipe bursts, flooding a General Business Company (GBC) utility room and tripping the circuit breakers on a panel in the

room. GBC contacts Hal, a licensed electrician with ten years of experience, to investigate the damage and turn the breakers "on." Hal attempts to turn on one of the breakers without testing for short circuits, which he knows should be done. Hal is electrocuted, and files a suit against GBC for damages, al­leging negligence. How might GBC defend itself?

Answer:

As a licensed electrician of 10 years Hal should be aware of the risks associated with his job. Now, I'll tell you of all of the mistakes and unnecessary risks that made by Hal. First, seeing a there was no mention of a plumber, I'm going to assume that the utility room is still flooded. If it is not still flooded then ignore this and move on to my next point, but if it is then I would just like to say that as a man with 10 years of experience, he should be aware of the fact that water conducts electricity. Second, even if the electrocution didn't involve the water, as a professional he should be competent enough to wear proper safety equipment. And finally, if I was GBC I would hire another electrician to point out every mistake made and how the entire thing could have been avoided if Hal hadn't decided to cut corners.

I hope that helps! :)

Briefly explain peremptory challenges?​
timurjin [86]
A peremptory challenge is used by attorneys in the jury selection process to excuse potential jurors without providing a reason why. In this lesson you will learn about the use of peremptory strikes, as well as the laws designed to protect the integrity of the process.
While the process of selecting jurors may be too boring to be featured in popular T.V. crime dramas, any seasoned trial attorney will tell you that a trial can be lost or won in jury selection. So, what exactly makes the process so important? And how do attorneys pick the 'best' jury for each case?

The jury selection process, also know as 'voir dire', involves attorneys from each side taking turns picking the jurors they believe will favor their position over their opponent's. The term peremptory challenge refers to the practice of excusing potential jurors without providing a reason why. Jurors may also be excluded because the attorneys and the judge believe that the juror, for whatever reason, can't be fair. This is called a 'for cause' challenge.
