School law.

Practice point: Schools are not strictly liable for every thoughtless or careless act by which one student may injure another. To recover for injuries caused by another student, a plaintiff must establish that school authorities had sufficiently specific knowledge or notice of the dangerous conduct which caused the injury; that is, that the third-party acts could reasonably have been anticipated.

Case: Paca v. City of New York, NY Slip Op 04848 (2d Dept. 2008)
