This is a Law Lessong - a law lesson in a song - that I wrote to help students consider the issues of vicarious liability -- specifically, the potential for an employer being civilly and criminally liable for the torts and crimes of their employees. • • More Law Lessong videos are posted at the Legal Studies Classroom blog: http://legalstudiesclassroom.blogspot... . The melody is inspired by the song Firework http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firework...) recorded by Katy Perry and written by Katy Perry and others. • Katy Perry - Firework (Official Music... • • No copyright infringement is intended.

DeAngelis • Melody inspired by Firework by Katy Perry • • Do you know that you, have a job to do • When you're at work, your boss depends on you. • • Do you know that you, as an employee, • Can cause your employer, liability. • • So keep your nose so clean, free of torts and crimes, • No cause for lawsuits, or anyone to drop a dime • • Do you know that there's, still a chance for you, • To not be leg'lly screwed. • • You just gotta do things right, • Not pre-carious, • Liability might, • Be vicarious. • • Cause buddy, when you go to work, • Part of how you show your worth, • Is never goin' Uh-oh oh • Costin' your employer dough -- oh -oh • • When you're on the clock for work, • Don't commit a tort, or worse, • Stay away from cri-i-ime • Or your boss may do some ti- i --ime • Let's establish first, that you're an employee, • Your employer keeps control of how you're laboring. • • Now a second point, is that the acts you do, • Are within the course and scope of your employment, too. • • And then if you believe, that you're acting on, • Your employer's needs and not off on your own. • • Like a lightning bolt, strikes this legal rule, • The gavel will come down on you • • CHORUS • • Boom, boom, boom • Public policy pre-sume -- zoom -- zooms. • Your boss has got dubloo-oo- oons, • In greater store than you -- oo --o • • Cause buddy, while you go to work, • Avoiding harm for all you're worth, • All the torts you do -- oo - oo • Impact your employer too -- oo - oo • • When you're on the clock for work, • Do your best and not your worst, • Always acting reas'nably • Avoiding personal injury
