Using the full case opinion of Wade v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.(found in the Discussion Boards Assignments Module and the Week 4 module in Learning Modules in Blackboard), list in detail and in your own words the legal issues of this case. The legal issues are the questions the court considered (and answered) in its opinion. Maybe the easiest way to describe this assignment is to list the questions that the court considered, but not what the court decided on those questions. The legal issues are scattered from page 3 to the top of page 7 of the opinion. You should re-read the entire opinion before beginning this assignment. Do not copy the language of the case opinion. Use the full court opinion, not the abridged opinion in the book. You should list the legal issues, rather than using a paragraph structure. You do not need to include any other cases cited by the court or any of the court’s judgments in regards to the case.

Some examples may be helpful. For instance, in a constitutional law case, a legal issue might be: ‘Was the plaintiff’s First Amendment right to freedom of speech infringed upon by the defendant?’ In a criminal case, an issue might be: ‘Did the prosecution prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant had the requisite criminal intent to commit a battery?’

Hint: there is more than one legal issue and less than five legal issues in the Wade v. Wal-Mart case.

Once you have completed your initial post containing a summary of the legal issues of this case in your own words, review your fellow students’ posts and respond in a substantive way to one or more of those posts. Simple agreement is not enough — you must provide comments and your opinion of their review of the legal issues of the case.
