Law School Drawings: Constructive Notice from Torts

This is from a 1st year law sketch, from the class on Torts. If an accident happens to you, should you have known that it would — in other words, did you have ‘constructive notice’ about it? If you did have constructive notice, it’s unlikely you have a legal claim, you shouldn’t sue.

This illustrated print explains the classic torts concept of constructive notice—the idea that a person or entity “should have known” something, even if they claim otherwise. Originally drawn during law school and refined afterward, it brings a key exam topic out of the notebook and onto the wall, with visual clarity and a bit of color.

Ideal for law students, bar preppers, professors, or anyone looking to bring a little legal logic into their study space.
