You Be the J

Read the "You Be the Judge" on p. 305 of the text. It is the case of Conseco Finance Service Corp. v. Lee.

Review the facts, and the arguments of each party in the case. 

Discuss:

1. the main issue(s) in the case (don't just reiterate the facts; instead consider what point of law needs to be decided); and

2. as the judge, decide for one party or the other. State your reasoning. Try to go beyond reiterating the argument given in the text. Also, don't rely on your instinct. Apply the law.

Your response is due on Sunday night by 11:55pm. This assignment is in a discussion forum so feel free to comment on your classmates' responses.
