Judge Sally Justice, who is newly appointed to the bench, is presented with a question of
law involving a cat named Chester who scratched a neighbor's antique jalopy. The neighbor,
George, demands justice in the form of full payment from Chester's owner, Sue, and also
requests that Chester be shipped to the local animal shelter. Sue says that she should not have
to pay anything because Chester had never scratched before, that Chester should be allowed to
stay in the neighborhood, and that she should be reimbursed for her legal fees by George who is
a grump and never should have brought the lawsuit. Judge Justice is perplexed and wants to
make a good decision since she is new to the bench. Describe how the judge should go about
reaching a decision. Discuss in your answer the impact of cases from other jurisdictions
assuming there is no relevant law in Judge Justice's jurisdiction. Also, assuming there is relevant
