Most of us have heard about the tragic death of a SeaWorld trainer who was dragged to the bottom of the swimming pool by a Killer Whale and drowned. Even though this article does not have to do with a 'Business Law' aspect, it does have to do with what we learned in Chapter 2. This article begins by explaining that the judge in this case, Florida Circuit Court Judge Lawrence Kirkwood, ordered mediation '...for all parties wanting to access the videos showing the death of a SeaWorld trainer.' The trainer's family is claiming that their constitutional right to privacy is being violated.
On page 50 of our textbook, mediation is defined as 'A neutral third party meets with the parties and emphasizes points of agreement to help them resolve their dispute'. (Miller & Jentz, 2009)
My personal opinion is that these tapes should remain private for the sake of the SeaWorld Trainer, Dawn Brancheau, and her family.
