Who is the complainant and who is the defendant in the case? (who is bringing the suit, and against whom)

You are assigned to review and address questions pertaining to actual court cases. Although other legal issues may be involved, these cases were selected because each addresses questions of contract law, contractual relationships, and breach of contract questions. 

You might find the information under the “Writing Case Briefs” helpful as you determine an approach to addressing the questions posed. This assignment should not require more than one to one and a half pages. Your papers should have your name on the top followed by the court case as cited.

My Case Study

Rabel v. IL Wesleyan U (fraternity)

Questions to be answered pertaining to your assigned case:

1)            Who is the complainant and who is the defendant in the case? (who is bringing the suit, and against whom)

2)            What are the basic facts of the case? (what happened)

3)            What are the legal issues? (refer to “Administrative Case Briefs” under the “Writing Case Briefs” tab)

4)            What was the court’s decision? (verdict)

5)            What was the court’s rationale and/or reason given for its decision?

NOTE: You are not attorneys so are not expected to overuse legal jargon nor apply complicated legal nuances in your answers.

That stated, I expect to see clear and understandable “practitioners” language (your own words) in your answers as you address a case’s basic facts, issues, findings, and court’s reasoning(s) for its decisions. Doing so in your written assignment will allow you to be able to effectively explain the case to your classmates in class (as you might do with fellow-professionals if considering administrative matters and/or assist with decision-making
