Palm Harbor Defamation Case Assignment
I’m working on a business law discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
During the time when Judge Barnes is presiding over a trial, she steps into an elevator with her Judicial Assistant while she is on a break. In the elevator, the judge says “Cartwright, the defendant in this defamation case, was a liar when he said that he didn’t shoplift the stereo.” Cartwright overhears the Judicial Assistant telling Farley, a paralegal student from Broward College about the comment. Could Cartwright successfully sue Judge Barnes for libel or for slander, or nothing at all since Cartwright does not have a case? EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER.

Considering that Cartwright has no case, might he sue Judge Barnes for defamation of character or slander? Explain your answer.
