Choose a current event from the past six months involving a business from a legal perspective. You may choose a small business, a large corporation, or a non-profit, but there must be some legal case that you can analyze.
Collect articles and information about the company, the law or regulation, and the actual dispute. Analyze the current event through your new legal lens. Discuss what is in conflict, why, what the ramifications are, and how the company could have avoided this issue. Use several terms from your textbook to discuss the case. Discuss from more than one perspective. For example, what is the purpose of the law or regulation? Whom does it protect, or what does it provide? Why might a business have difficulty abiding by the law? Is it ambiguous?
If you do not know how to approach the event, ask your professor for guidance.
Deliverable
Write a 3-4 page paper with a discussion of the issue. In your conclusion, address the decision of the court. If the court has already decided, state whether or not you agree with the decision and say why or why not. If the court has not yet decided, state what you think the decision should be and say why.
In addition to the 3-4 page paper, include a title page and a reference page. Use and cite at least four sources in your paper, one of which may be your textbook.
