This assignment is modeled after law school "issue$-$spotter" exam questions which posit a hypothetical set of facts and then ask the student to assess the legal issues presented. Unlike law school issue$-$spotters, which typically are entirely open$-$ended, this question involves specific inquiries stated at the end of this document. Your task is to identify the specific legal issues related to those inquiries, and assess them from all perspectives. The more development and citation of specific course material, that you can offer, the better! Identify as many relevant legal issues as you can. While you should attempt to resolve the legal issues presented, your recognition of the legal issues and an assessment of their significance is more important than their resolution.
