W6 Assignment (Please write on separate document your response for (Audio) for each PPT)

Summary

Students will critically analyze a business scenario (case study) involving potential tort law liability. The goal is to assess legal risks and ethical considerations, recommend risk mitigation strategies, and communicate findings effectively through a professional PowerPoint (PPT) presentation. 

PROMPT

1.    Scenario Selection:

Choose ONE of the hypothetical scenarios listed on the  ATTACHED CASE STUDIES PDF document  as your Case Study for this Assignment. Download the document, read the scenarios, and choose the one that interests you.  Guidance and sources to get you started are included with each Case Study. 

2.    Content Requirements:

Prepare a PowerPoint (PPT) presentation (12 to 14 substantive slides, excluding title slide and references slide) addressing the questions presented with the Case Study you have selected. The PPT should cover the following elements. Be specific in your explanation. Broad generalizations will not be sufficient. Showcase your knowledge! Explain-Analyze-Recommend.

· Introduction:

Briefly describe the Case Study scenario, including key facts and involved parties.

· Legal Framework – Tort Law

Identify and explain the applicable tort law implicated in the case study including relevant legal principles and precedents. Be specific. See Week 5 Lesson and Learning Materials. Include illustrative analogous cases from your research to explain/support your narrative.

· Risk Assessment:

Analyze and explain the type of legal risks for the business that are presented in the Case Study (e.g., stakeholder harm, damages, reputational impact, and regulatory consequences, as applicable).

· Mitigation Strategies:

Evaluate and describe actionable strategies the business can implement to reduce (mitigate) risk (e.g., training, insurance, compliance protocols, operational changes, others?). What is appropriate will depend on your analysis of the specific case study you select and your research accordingly.

· Ethical Implications:

Evaluate and describe ethical considerations tied to the business’s actions and proposed solution you recommend. as appropriate to the Case Study you select. 

· Conclusion and Recommendations:

Summarize your findings and provide clear recommendations for legal and ethical resolution of the problem(s) presented in the Case Study.

· Reference List

Your research sources are listed in APA7 format on a final slide. Every cited source should also be cited within the PPT on the slides or in Speaker Notes below the slides, as in text citations, where they support your presentation narrative. (See  Required References below.) 

3.    Visual and Professional Design:

· Use visuals (e.g., charts, diagrams, graphics, other relevant images) to enhance understanding.

· Ensure professional formatting, consistency, and clarity.

4.    Audio Speaker Notes (How-to Video provided below): (Please write on separate document your response for (Audio) for each PPT)

This PPT Assignment is a simulation for a live presentation to an audience. The Presentation shall be presented with an  AUDIO  narrative covering all slides (EXCEPT Title and References slide).

The PPT program has an Audio "Record"  tool to use for recording narrative. If you do not see this tool in your PPT, it may need to be activated. Please review these instructions for how to do this (and other useful information):

Recording a PPT - Includes How to Activate PPT "Record" Tool

Written speaker’s notes can be included to provide research source references (in text citations) pertinent to a slide and other helpful points, but the main “Speaker’s Notes” shall be your Audio speaking narrative. DO NOT SIMPLY READ SLIDES ALOUD. Your audio presentation is an original narrative that tells a story for which the Slides are the key points. You are speaking "live" to an audience.

NOTE:  An "AI narrator" is not acceptable. However, if you have a need for accommodation or help regarding use of audio please contact your instructor in advance.

Additional help: Also watch the video: How to record presentations in Microsoft PPT - POSTED BELOW.

5.    Required References:

Seven (7) credible  references, presented in full APA 7th Ed. Style citations for all sources on a final slide(s).

Sources must also be cited where used within the PPT. Each source on the References slide(s) at the end of the PPT should be referenced also with slides in the PPT where you used the source for your work. Also, for this Assignment,  of your 7 references, 3 must be:

· Lingwall Course law text 

· Weiss Course ethics text

· At least one actual court case  ( xx v. yy, case citation); See  How to Cite Legal References - APA7 - Purdue OWL

For guidance on how to correctly cite references within the slides of a PPT presentation, please watch this Video, posted below:  APA Formatting for PowerPoint: How to Apply APA Style to PowerPoint Presentations

Submission Guidelines:

•    Format: PowerPoint (.ppt or .pptx) - Name your document including at least your last name & Assignment •    Length: 12–14 slides (NOT including title and references slides) •    Due: Submit by 11:59 pm ET on Assignment’s posted due date

Case Study

Minturn v. Monrad 

This court opinion illustrates application of contract principles to a claim of breach of contract. The court opinion is attached below. Marginal notes and highlighting are included on the copy of the opinion. These highlights and notes are NOT part of the original court’s opinion. They have been added to assist your learning in reading the case for this Lesson.  

As you read the case: What were the defendants’ defenses to breach?  Note the rules of interpretation the court utilized in reaching its decision, applying Massachusetts law. You will see that the court considers the original intent of the parties as expressed in the contract language, as well as reasonable application of the plain meaning of the language in the contract.

***DISCUSSION (No more than 300 words)

Discussion Prompt

In this course we are exploring legal and ethical risk factors critical for business decision making. Case studies reveal that these risks shadow all aspects of business. In terms of operational risk, the exposure can arise from inadequate or failed internal controls, processes and systems and human malfeasance causing breakdowns in daily business activities (Segal, 2025). The Week 5 Lesson presented a broad range of potential legal and ethical operational risks carrying tort and criminal exposure for business in today's global environment. These include such threats to business operations as cyber-crime, terrorism, and fraud. For example, Enron is a testament to the failure of internal controls and ethical leadership. Contracts, legal and regulatory compliance are other areas of potential risks for unwary leadership.

FOR THIS DISCUSSION:

Identify a specific legal or ethical (or combination) operational risk that you see to be a compelling concern for a business today and propose a best practice that in your opinion a business can utilize to effectively prevent or mitigate that risk.

In your initial post explain (with an example):

-the specific legal or ethical risk,

-the best practice, and

-how you would implement the practice
