Your supervising attorney has just taken on a case in which the client, Julia, has been charged with battery. Your supervising attorney has not yet had the opportunity to speak to the client to learn the facts of the case, but you have a copy of the criminal complaint. The complaint reads as follows: On July 7, 2014, Julia Client, a female 25 years old, did commit an unlawful battery by touching the victim, Valentina Victim, a female 33 years old, on the shoulder

without the victim's consent. The battery did take place at or in the vicinity of 25 Main Street, on the public sidewalk at that address, at approximately 11:05 in the forenoon. You and your supervising attorney are on your way to meet the client, and your attorney has asked you to read the complaint and discuss whether the complaint seems to state a strong case against Julia Client. You're in a common-law jurisdiction. Consider and answer the following questions: 1. State the elements of common-law battery.

2. Does the complaint state all the elements of common-law battery?

3. Which elements of common-law battery, if any, does the complaint allege?

4. Which elements of common-law battery, if any, are missing?
