Assignment: Team Live IRAC Case Analysis
Goal
Each team prepares and presents the IRAC case (following the IRAC case method) to the professor in a virtual meeting.
Overview of the Assignment
Throughout the semester you will refine your critical thinking skills by analyzing cases using the IRAC case method. You will schedule a time for your team to meet with the faculty through a Google sheet (information provided in Blackboard). During this live session, in Module 6, your team will present the IRAC case for the week and be prepared to discuss content covered in the assigned chapters, as noted in Blackboard.
Although you will attend as a team, this exercise is graded individually, so each student is expected to follow the IRAC case method and be fully conversant with the facts, issues, rule, court's application of the law and the conclusion (holding) as well as information from the assigned textbook chapter(s).
