Assignment:

Read Coughlin excerpt "Case Illustrations" on Springboard. Draft 4 case reviews (using the facts and cases from Memo III last semester) in accordance with: Example 8.2-B, 8.2-C, 8.2-G, and 8.2I (as in Igloo) (found in the Coughlin excerpt). You can use the same case for multiple case reviews, but, in the end, you will still prepare 4 individual and different case reviews. The case reviews should be turned in to me on Springboard by Monday, January 16 at 6:00pm. If you were not in my class last semester, please just use the facts and cases relevant to your Memo III from last semester (whatever topic it was).
