of a law course for business students would be
complete without soliciting your evaluation of
the judicial merits of the now famous or more
aptly put, infamous, McDonalds hot coffee case.
In February, 1992, Stella Liebeck, then 79, was
sitting in the passenger seat of her grandson's
car. He ordered coffee for his grandmother from a
McDonalds drive through window. The coffee was
served in a lidded Styrofoam cup which the
grandson immediately handed to Stella. The
grandson drove forward slightly and momentarily
halted the car so that Stella could add cream and
sugar to her coffee. She placed the coffee cup
between her knees and while attempting to remove
the lid, the entire cup of coffee spilled into
her lap. Although she was wearing sweatpants at
the time, she was severely burned suffering 3rd
degrees burns on 6 of her body including her
thighs, buttocks and genital and groin areas, and
spent eight days in the hospital during which she
had a number of skin grafts.

difficulty making up his mind for most of his 29
years, was sitting around on Sunday, with some of
his friends. At one point, he says, "I'm going to
try to sell my car, and if I can get an offer
close to 9,000 I'm going to take it." Andy, one
of the friends, thinks to himself that this might
be a good deal. The following events occur later
that same week. Monday Wilbur arranges with
the local newspaper for an advertisement to run
beginning on Saturday, which will say, "1997
Honda Prelude, excellent, 1st 8,000 takes it.
See it at 1902 Maple Street." Thursday Andy
delivers a note to Wilbur, which Wilbur reads
later on Thursday. The note says, "I'll will take
your car for 9,000" and is signed by Andy.
Wilbur never responds to this note. Friday
Wilbur thinks he may have underpriced the car and
calls the newspaper to cancel or modify his
advertisement. It is too late to cancel or modify
the advertisement for Saturday's paper and the ad
runs on Saturday in the paper as originally
stated. A new ad will start on Sunday which does

working as a printer at Bilson's Art Studio in
1996. During his employment, Ethan was a good
worker, did not create any trouble, and was
viewed by management as a "relatively passive
personality." In February of 1999, Ethan was
physically attacked by another employee, Stan,
without provocation. It was not the first time
Stan had attacked a coworker. Approximately eight
years earlier, Stan had attacked another
employee, Vu, inflicting injuries serious enough
to require stitches. Both Stan and Vu continued
working for Bilson's after that incident.
According to Ethan, the incident at issue in this
case began when Stan approached Ethan and another
worker and started screaming at them. Stan then
grabbed a piece of wood and began swinging it at
Ethan, possibly hitting him in the arm. Stan then
took up either a hammer or a box of screws and
hit Ethan with it. At that point, Ethan fled the
room, but Stan began following him.
