Feedback for Project 2: Making Decisions That Are Legal and Ethical
Turnip Plaza milestone: you have a basis here on which to build for revising for final submission. First, 10 page limit on text per instructions. Second, stick to the learning resources in the classroom. Your use of outside resources and case law is not helping. Third, your first paragraph of paper adds nothing. Delete it and in its place have a paragraph that summarizes the facts of the case (as I have said repeatedly in the classroom and emails always start with a summation of the facts). Cite to the case facts at the end of summation. Fourth, on legal theories Mark will assert, your organization is off. You start with the basics and build from there. Define, cite, apply every time. You do not talk about this case enough. You have some of the info you need for this section but the organization is out of whack. Mark will first say there is a breach of contract. For there to be a breach of contract there has to be a contract. So you start with the elements of a contract -- offer, acceptance, consideration, meeting of the minds. Here you try to start in the middle with consideration. Once you go over the elements of a contract, you need to analyze whether the contract needs to be in writing (called the Statute of Frauds). Then alternatively, Mark would assert promissory estoppel. So that is the logical flow of Mark's claims. Fifth, on remedies, discuss the various monetary remedies using the learning resources, but then you need to talk about non-monetary remedies (such as performance, which is in the learning resources). Sixth, your ethics section is just about ethics. No law talk, such as agency. Legal in legal section, ethics in ethics section, and bring the two sides together in the conclusion. So focus on the tests from the learning resources -- define, cite, apply. Finally your conclusion. So again, a basis here but lots of reorganization and some expansion but also some deletion of material. Let me know if you have questions.
Additional: First paragraph just summarize. Legal history: talk about what is contract offer and put concept first. Rearrangement is needed and make it more logical. Damages: use learning resources. USE ONLY LEARNING RESOURCES, NO OUTSIDE SOURCES.
Project 1: Introduction to the Legal Environment of Business
Carz report final submission: this needs substantial revision in order to pass. You have one opportunity to resubmit before Feb 13 resubmit deadline. If you would like a phone conference, let me know. Suggest you re/read Jan 15 guidance email and announcements about this deliverable and sourcing. First, formatting. Too many headings. Just have intro, arguments for plaintiff, arguments for defendant, and conclusion. Here all the headings makes for choppy writing and does not show how one legal concept flows into the other. The intro is just a summation of the case facts, nothing else, with a cite to the case facts at the end of summation, and put case facts in reference list. And page numbers on all reports please. Second, sourcing -- as I've said before you must rely on the learning resources in the classroom. Your outside research has lead you down a rabbit hole and you are not focused on the issues you need to be focused on. Third, you have to talk about both Wilson and Mitchell as both are equally important. Fourth, in Arguments for P and then D, these are the main sections of your paper. You must be methodical. One legal principle per paragraph; define, cite, apply (DCA). Every time. If you are not doing that, you are not adding to the legal analysis of your paper. In P, start with what is agency; DCA. Second paragraph, general v limited agency; DCA. Then you can go on to concepts like vicarious liability, respondeat superior, duty of care, etc. One principle per paragraph; define, cite, apply to Wilson and Mitchell. Once you finish P side, then you move on to D side with same methodical approach. Finally, the conclusion is a brief summation of each side's argument without deciding the case. USE ONLY LEARNING RESOURCES, NO OUTSIDE SOURCES.

Project 2: Making Decisions That are Legal and Ethical Start Here
Transcript
When you’re back at work on Monday morning, VP Kenneth Dodger stops by your office. “It looks like you’re cut out for this kind of work,” he says. “Great job on your last project. Are you ready for a couple more?”
Kenneth starts to explain the variety of issues Colossal’s subsidiaries have with both their domestic and international operations. Sometimes the legal ramifications and the right decisions to make are obvious; other times, they’re entirely ambiguous. This is especially true when it comes to contracts and international disputes and agreements. Kenneth begins to talk about the obscurity of some kinds of international agreements, but catches himself rambling.
“I’ll let you look at the case files first so you can become familiar with the issues at play here. At one of our US-based subsidiaries, we have a contract issue. I’m looking for a report on the legal and ethical issues associated with that case.”
“Abroad,” he continues, “a few of our subsidiaries are having trouble navigating international law, international contracts, and international dispute resolution. I’m going to loop in into a discussion with some colleagues about how best to handle these issues.”
Kenneth steps out into the hallway. “I’m looking forward to seeing your work,” he says. “Good luck.”
In this project, you will aid Vice President Dodger of Colossal Corporation by analyzing complicated issues that have arisen in different subsidiaries of the company. These situations require the company to make legal and ethical decisions. You will be presented with a number of readings to familiarize yourself with relevant laws and with resources that guide you in making ethical decisions. You will produce a report for the VP that includes specific recommendations based on what you have found in the readings and will engage in a discussion on international legal challenges.
Begin in Step 1, where you will review the first case.

· Step 1: Review Turnip Plaza Hotel Case
· Invigorated by your early success at Colossal Corporation, you open The Turnip Plaza Hotel case file Kenneth Dodger has provided to you. In the next step, you will gather the information you need to write the report.
· Step 2: Gather and Analyze Information
· INBOX (1 NEW EMAIL)
· From: Kenneth Dodger, Vice President, Colossal Corporation
· To: You
· Good morning,
· Hope you’ve had time to review the case file on The Turnip Plaza Hotel. In order to formulate a sound response to my questions, you’ll need to review a number of specific foundational issues involving legal contracts.
· First, find the necessary information about contract formation and execution . Then, look into possible contract remedies for when a breach of contract occurs. As you read over this information, be sure to record your thoughts pertaining to the case, while noting the places in the readings that prompted your thoughts.
· After you have refreshed your understanding of contract law generally, you should supplement that understanding by doing legal research on specific laws related to contracts in Michigan. Again, make sure to take notes as you read. Good notes will help you write your report.
· Thinking over this case, put some of your focus on Edward Griffin's role in this situation with Mark Piper. More specifically, consider whether Edward had the authority to make the promise he made (or any promises) to Mark.
· Review the legal responsibilities of agents and employees to help formulate your answer. You should also review ethical business decision making , as it pertains to keeping promises in business situations and the ethical questions I have asked you to consider.
· I trust you to perform with the same tenacity as you did with the first cases.
· Thanks,
· Ken
·
· In the next step, you will use what you have learned to create an outline that will prepare you to write the report.
Step 3: Focus on Your Rationale and Conclusions: Create Your Outline
You've finished your research and reflected on how the facts and the law come together in this situation. You've also analyzed the possible arguments and determined which seem most reasonable (all things considered). Now it is time to formulate them, making sure to address all the concerns that VP Dodger expressed to you when you met. Outline the report that you will draft for your VP and review your document to make certain it covers all relevant points and progresses in a logical order.
After you finish the outline, if you have time, give yourself one night of sleep before you begin the next step, in which you will write the report. Fresh eyes might help you see points that need revision.
Step 4: Communicate Your Findings and Conclusions to the VP: Create Your Report
Use your outline and research notes to prepare your report for the VP. Be sure to meet the following requirements he has requested:
· Format your report by including APA-formatted in-text citations and an APA-formatted reference list (do not format the body of the report using APA style, just the reference list). See references and citations for details.
· Include a specific recommendation of what action, if any, the VP should take based on your analysis and conclusions.
· Support your conclusion with references to legal principles and laws.
· The report should be no more than 10 pages (double spaced, 12-point font; the reference list does not count towards page limit).
· Title your file using this protocol: yourlastname_TurnipPlazaReport_date.
Submit your Turnip Plaza report to the Assignments folder. You should try to have this report complete by the end of Week 4.
In the next step, you will begin work on navigating some of the international legal challenges Colossal is facing.
Step 5: Review Colossal’s International Legal Challenges
Successfully completing the Turnip Plaza report, you’re ready to review your next assignment: the International Legal Challenges case file.
You open the file and read over the specifics of this situation. You soon see that VP Dodger is concerned about some of the risks involved with a number of Colossal’s international projects.
In the next step, you will gather the information you need to identify important issues for the VP.
Step 6: Gather and Analyze the Information
While you have some general awareness that there are many ramifications of international transactions from a legal perspective, including dispute resolution provisions, you realize that you need to know a lot more about this subject before you can attempt to respond to the VP's questions.
You begin by researching international law, international contracts, an introduction to alternative dispute resolution, and international dispute resolution.
Step 7: Engage in the International Legal Challenges Discussion
Discussion with Colleagues
Now that you’ve gathered and analyzed information on the International Legal Challenges case file, Vice President Dodger would like you to discuss your thoughts with the other members of his special investigations team. He sends you two requirements for this discussion:
First, each participant is to post an initial response to at least two of the five questions noted in the International Legal Challenges file. This should be completed during Week 5 and should meet the following requirements:
· Include a specific recommendation of what action, if any, the VP should take based on your analysis and conclusions.
· Support your conclusion with references to legal principles and laws.
· These posts can be as long or as short as you need in order to effectively make your points.
Second, each participant must provide a substantive response to at least one posting from a colleague in the discussion, critiquing the initial post by appealing to legal and business considerations. This should be completed during Week 5.
Consult MBA Discussion Guidelines for instructions on participation in discussions.
