Please read the following fact pattern and address all three of the questions. Only discuss relevant issues!  I am not as interested in your outcome (who will end up winning) as I am in how you use the law to support your points. Base your answer only on facts given. If additional information is needed, tell me that. Your answers should be about 200 words and are due Friday November 27th (delay due to Thanksgiving). Then by November 30th (delay due to Project Two) give two substantial responses to your classmates’ posts.
