For this assignment, you will read the “Illustrative Case” on pages 46-54 in your textbook. Please be sure the document your source using APA Style. Once you have read and understand the case, write a three- to five-page paper following the directions below.
The format will be according to APA Style (typed, double-spaced) and in four parts:
1. Part 1 is a summary. In this segment of the paper, provide an in-depth summary of the court case. Include what precipitated the case. This summary should be in your own words, using quotes to support what you have written.
2. Part 2 presents the arguments. Here, you should present the arguments made in the case. Essentially, you will discuss what the attorneys for the plaintiff and the defendant argued for their respective client(s).
3. Part 3 presents the outcome/ruling. Discuss the outcome and ruling. You should include the ways the court used the arguments of the parties to create their ruling, opinion, or verdict.
4. Part 4 presents your reaction. You are to provide your reaction (insightful, critical, and logical) to the points made in the case including the ruling, opinion, or verdict. A simple statement of agreement or disagreement is not enough. While you may make such a statement by way of introduction to your reaction, you must clearly and logically state the reasons for the position that you have taken.
