The Reasonable Person Test

In Episode 55 of Business Law 101, the Reasonable Person Test sounds like a fair standard by which to interpret negligence cases, but in practice it is frequently applied unfairly, particularly to business people.

I am an attorney and speaker as well as the founder and CEO of Claremont Management Group, a consulting firm in Houston, Texas. I’m also a tenured professor, the Cameron Endowed Chair of Management and Marketing, and the Director of Graduate Programs at the University of St. Thomas. I have written and published The Decline of America: 100 Years of Leadership Failures, a thought-provoking, non-partisan book that reviews the last100 years of American Presidents (from Wilson through Obama), offering not just criticism, but common-sense solutions to help fix America before it’s too late.

I also host the podcast Saving America, where I explore the intersection between business and politics.
