It can be beneficial for law school or other institutions of higher education, but I don't think it's useful at a K-12 level.
Mr. Ferguson. Please explain the facts of Hawkins v. McGee.
So I just did a quick google search and this is actually a pretty interesting case:
On appeal, the New Hampshire Supreme Court held that the amount of damages awarded should be equal to the difference between the value of what Hawkins was promised to receive—a "one hundred percent good hand" — and what he in fact received—a hairy palm—as well as any incidental losses he incurred as a result of the breach.
How would you even quantify something like that to award the damages?
