The attractive nuisance doctrine in California education

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

<p>The problem is to determine the circumstances and conditions prerequisite to liability under attractive nuisance as it applies to public schools in the State of California.</p><p>In answering this problem an attempt will be made to clarify for the school administrator sundry areas in attractive nuisance, as follows: 1) What constitutes the action of negligence?; 2) What is the history of the attractive nuisance doctrine in England where it originated, and in the United States?; 3) What is the attractive nuisance doctrine as recognized in the State of California?; 4) What distinction does California make between negligence and attractive nuisance as they apply to school districts?; 5) What are possible situations under which lawsuits in attractive nuisance may culminate into judgments against school districts?; 6) Why have California courts to date rendered no decision on attractive nuisance against a school district?</p>
