Your answer(s) for each of the below listed Homework Cases must be typed and submitted through Blackboard.

In order to submit your Homework, click on each of the assigned cases which are underlined below. You will see a section of “Instructions” which describe the assignment/page number for each case. When you click on the case, you will then see an option to “Create Submission.” If you click on “Create Submission” it will open a text box for you to type your homework and submit it.

Please type your answer directly into the text box and submit it.  Do notuse text-editing software or other programs and then cut and paste, as this often conflicts with Blackboard, causing illegible answers.  You should not upload a separate document.

Be careful that your message does not contain any special formatting when typing into Blackboard.  TEXT ONLY!  And do not type your answer in the “Comments” link.

I will not accept these case answers via email.  It is not necessary to repeat the facts of the question in your answer.  There is no defined length for the answer.  Two to four paragraphs is the norm.  Your answer should be in your own words, and never copied and pasted from any source.  Copying the court’s decision is not acceptable. Your answer will be screened by plagiarism software.  No credit will be allowed for answers that are not original.  If you are quoting material you must cite your sources.

Your answer should be formatted as follows:

a. The Issue:   Define the issue to be decided by the court.  This is typically one sentence describing the question that the court is addressing and deciding.  For example,The issue before the court is whether the defendant’s negligence was the proximate cause of the plaintiff’s injury. 

b. The Court’s Decision.  Discuss what you think the court’s decision should be, and your reasoning. You should support your analysis with legal authority (from the materials you have studied). Citations to legal principles, statutes and/or similar case decisions (learned from your text or the case itself) will be most convincing.
