Questions we Can Help you to Answer

Paper Instructions:

Assignment
Please write a memo to Casey Waterman analyzing:
1.    Is ATGA liable for illegal disparate treatment discrimination against Casey on the basis of Casey’s sex for not hiring Casey for a guide position? (Be sure to list the three burden shifting steps in your Rules section and analyze each legal requirement in your Analysis section.)
2.    Did Lucas sexually harass Casey?
3.    If Lucas did sexually harass Casey, is ATGA liable for the harassment? (Conduct this analysis even if you concluded above that Lucas did not harass Casey.)

Analyze each question as a separate issue.  In other words, conduct a separate IRAC analysis for each issue. You don’t need to summarize the facts, although you do, of course, need to use the facts in your legal analysis. 

Advice
•    Use IRAC headings to indicate where you are in the memo. Not only does this force you to be organized, but it also makes it much easier for me to understand where you are going in your argument (and that will improve your grade).
•    Support your analysis with both the law and the facts.
•    Be sure to discuss the counterargument(s) to your argument and explain why you conclude as you do.
•    I am not asking you to give advice to Casey on what to do next. All your conclusion in each IRAC analysis needs to do is answer the question posed in the issue statement.

Please do not:
•    Make up any facts that are not in the scenario above. If you are unsure about how to interpret the facts above, please ask.  
•    Look up, discuss, or cite any law outside of what is in your textbook and don’t Google anything – if you do, you are likely to get totally confused and not apply the law correctly.

Format and Grading Criteria
