BUS 250: FIRACT Details

[50 points]

  • Find, print out, FIRACT, and attach one recent appellate employment law case (within last 5 years and not in text or on course website) from CA, 9th Circuit, or U.S. Supreme Court [not from federal district court or other trial court]
  • Case should add substantive value from a management perspective (vs. procedural technicalities); no unpublished, memorandum and order, "per curiam" cases, or others lacking precedential value for applying stare decisis)
  • Emphasize high-quality take-home message 
    • if you can't come up with one, the case probably isn't good enough
  • 1-page in length MAX! If you can't fit it within 1 page, you haven't condensed or understood it well enough--keep at it!
  • Use bullet points to save space for this assignment only
  • Grades will be based on quality/recency of case, value of take-home message, and written communication quality
