Your client, Dayton Ranger, sustained injuries to his left eye after being hit by a puck that flew into the stands while Dayton was watching the local semi-pro team, the Eagan Timberwolves, play. The puck came over the top of a hard plastic screen constructed around the rink. The arena claims that the height of the screen meets the league standards. You have been assigned to research whether, under Minnesota state law, Dayton Ranger is likely to succeed if he brings a personal injury action against the hockey arena for damages. Part A - Using Secondary Sources and Cases - 14 points In Part A, you will use Westlaw and Google Scholar to search for secondary sources relevant to this topic. Also, within the background commentary you find in these secondary sources, you will look for and record some citations to cases relevant to the facts and legal issue. It is permissible to list the same case more than once if you find it cited in multiple secondary sources. Follow the steps below to use Westlaw to look for relevant information in an encyclopedia, A.L.R., and law reviews and journals (Questions 1-3), then to look for information using Google Scholar (Question 4.) In your answers, for each secondary source, try to construct a citation according to the examples in the Understanding Citations" handout and in the Module 1 videos.arch%20Assignment%20A.docx BI U A - A - ED FE 16. Another way to focus your KeyCite result is by headnote/topic and key number. There may be more than one headnote that expresses the points of law discussed in the case. Return to the text of the Modec case and scroll down to look once more at headnote 3. After the text of the headnote, Westlaw tells you how many cases have cited Modec for the point of law represented by that headnote. How many cases are there? (.5 points) 17. In the list of cases citing Modec for the point of law represented by headnote 3, click on Alwin v. St. Paul Saints Baseball Club, Inc., 672 N.W.2d 570 (Minn. Ct. App. 2003). Read the part of the Alwin case in which Modec is cited (use the "Search term" green arrow.) Is Alwin a case that you would cite in an objective (not advocacy) memo reporting your research for the Dayton Ranger matter? Why or why not? (2 points)\f\fBIU A . A. d. Did you find an on point case from your jurisdiction (Minnesota) discussed or cited in this secondary source? If so, provide its citation: 3. Law Reviews (2 points) a.

Include the search terms you used. Did the source suggest any new search terms? c. Cite the article or source in Bluebook format. d. Did you find an on point case from your jurisdiction (Minnesota) discussed or cited in this secondary source? If so, provide its citation:BIU A - A - E In Parts B & C, you will use the Modec case to explore methods of working with a known relevant case to locate additional relevant cases AND to ascertain that the known case is still good authority. Part B - Using Headnotes and Topics/Key Numbers for Research - 4 points Retrieve Modec v. City of Eveleth, 29 N.W.2d 453 (Minn. 1947), on Westlaw by typing the citation into the default search box at the top of the screen. Read over the six West headnotes that appear near the beginning of the case, after the synopsis. Although all the headnotes relate to the issue of the potential liability of the arena to Dayton Ranger for his injuries, for this exercise focus on headnote number 3 as one that generally expresses the rule of law applied in the case. 6. What is the full West topic/key assigned to headnote 3 (provide the words of the topic & key number headings, as well as the numerical equivalent)? (1 point) 7. In headnote 3, click on the words of the topic/key (the phrase right after the key symbol) and you will retrieve a list of additional cases that have been indexed using the same topic and key number (even though they may not actually cite Modec.) How many cases from Minnesota state courts are listed (provide the total number indicated, even though some cases are listed more than once)? (1 point) 8. Briefly examine the descriptions of the other cases indexed under the topic and key number assigned to Modec headnote 3. Based on the descriptions, list below 2 cases you would choose to read as the next step in your research (you don't need to actually read them thoroughly for this exercise, but briefly indicate why you would choose each one to read.)
