Assignment 2: Hilary Case

Due Week 8 and worth 200 points

 

Review the case file titled “Hilary Case," found below these instructions.  

 

Write a five to six (5-6) page paper in which you:

  1. Draft a legal memorandum in which you discuss the likelihood of a successfully recovery by your client.
  2. Write a summary of the main steps that you, as the paralegal, need to take in order to prepare the Hilary Case for trial.
  3. Describe two (2) issues that would cause you to reach out to the supervising attorney for help.
  4. Draft a letter to the supervising attorney in which you recommend the settlement of the Hilary Case.
  5. Use at least two (2) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not quality as academic resources.

 

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required page length.

 

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:


  • Use the rules for citation form for primary and secondary authorities as well as the use of signals such as id., supra, infra, etc.
  • Analyze what paralegals do, the career choices available to paralegals, their role in the legal profession, and the need for continuing education and training.
  • Examine the paralegal workplace, tasks, and functions of a paralegal and accounting procedures in the law office.
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues in paralegal studies.
  • Write clearly and concisely about paralegal studies using proper writing mechanics.

In order to help in writing the Assignment, in a separate link I have created an outline of the issues that should be covered under each Section. While not exhaustive, it should help you to formulate some of the issues and answers that you should cover in answering the questions presented.

A couple of additional items:

The main point of the exercise is to concentrate on and use the legal concepts and terminology that we have been covering and to carefully and clearly use them to explain your statements and recommendations. 

You do not need to spend much time on making sure that you have the proper format - even though there are different directions (write a memo, write a letter) the important point is that you discuss the substantive issues. You will not have points deducted for not following exactly the format requirements. 

Make sure to proofread your submission. The Rubrics contain a significant number of points for various aspects of style/grammar/citation format. You don't want to lose points simply because of misspellings, punctuation, incorrect grammar or citation style.
