The first step in preparing your case law analysis is to choose a legal decision involving contracts. In your briefing, you must be able to understand the court’s decision, summarize it, and evaluate it. You may choose any publicly available legal case involving a breach of contract or dispute arising from a contractual agreement. To help you get started, use these useful resources to find an interesting case involving breach or a contractual dispute uploaded below.
Once you have selected a business-related case involving tort law and an organization impacted by the decision, assume you’re a senior manager in the organization you selected and that you were asked to prepare a briefing (3–4 double-spaced pages) of the court decision to help the executive team of the organization understand the impact the case might have on the company.
In your briefing, please complete the following:
Include detailed explanations of the facts.
Include key distinctions and nuances that enhance understanding of the case.
Provide detailed explanations of their significance and relevance.
Explain how these torts and the associated elements matter in the case.
Provide insightful and nuanced analyses of each party’s arguments.
Offer detailed commentary on the rationale and implications.
This is the company and industry where you should imagine yourself to be a senior manager for this assessment.
It is for the real or imagined executives of this company that you write this briefing.
Provide these executives with concrete examples to demonstrate how they should modify their operating procedures to be consistent with the case opinion.
Based on your executive audience, your executive briefing should be no more than four pages, in addition to the references page, and should be well organized and written in clear, succinct language. Follow APA rules for attributing content to sources that support your analysis and conclusions.
Your submission should meet the following requirements:
