For week 2, brief case 8-2 Love v. Hardee’s Food Systems, Inc. (listed in the section on Cases in Chapter 8 of the textbook). In your brief this week be sure to focus on the elements of negligence.

As part of your written brief it is recommended you follow the IRAC method.

I – Introduce the facts of the case;

R – state the Rule of law applicable;

A – Analyze the facts of the case against the law and make your arguments; and

C – Conclude your brief with your position on the case.

Case 1-1 Ryan v. Friesenhahn can be referenced as a partial example of a case brief. The majority of your points earned will be for how well you analyse and reason your position in your paper. While the facts of the case are important they should only be summarized in your brief.

The requirements below must be met for your paper to be accepted and graded:

Write approximately 2 – 3 pages using Microsoft Word.
Use APA style formatting and follow the IRAC method.
Your file should be prepared on 8.5 x 11 standard size, double spaced, 12 pt Times New Roman font with 1” margins.
Include cover page and reference page in addition to the page requirement listed above.
A majority of your paper must be original content/writing.
Use at least two references from outside the course material. Textbook, lectures, and other materials in the course may be used, but are not counted toward the two reference requirements.
