·       Classroom-based Format: due the first night of class

·       Online Format:  none

The Case Method

When applying critical thinking skills, the case method of analysis is a useful tool. Cases have a long history as a teaching tool and are valuable because they provide a common specific experience. Cases never include all the information necessary; they are a parallel to life. It is unlikely that, in any business decision, an individual will have all the facts and information that he or she would like to have in order to make the best decision possible. Cases, like life, require that assumptions be made and articulated.

The following information presents two models to use in analyzing cases. The first model analyzes the case from the “legal” perspective, while the second model uses the “ethical” framework as a form for case analysis.

Legal Analysis

First, it is important for the student to read the entire case. One should not jump to the end of the case or skip any of the material. The student should read the entire case carefully and make notes of relevant facts and issues. Then, one can begin the legal analysis of the case.

  1. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The student should identify the relevant facts. He or she should sort through the information available in the case and decide what information, ideas, and facts are important and crucial in examining the case problem.
  1. LEGAL ISSUE STATEMENT: The student should articulate the critical issues, i.e., the “unresolved questions” that he or she wishes to evaluate. The student should sort through the facts and categorize them to identify the key elements of the case. What are the real problems? What issues are disguised or masked by other statements or concerns that might lead the student in the wrong direction? While one may identify many legal issues in any case, it is important to identify no more than two (2) of what might be considered to be the key legal issues for each case. The legal issue statements should begin with the key words: “The legal issue is: ‘Is it legal to ....?’”
  1. APPLICABLE LEGAL RULES: The student should state the appropriate legal rules. What laws or legal principles apply to the case given the issues that have been identified?
  1. OBSERVATIONS: The student should discuss his/her observations. Essentially, one needs to show the connection between the facts and circumstances that have been identified as being important and the legal rules that have been identified as relevant. How do the rules apply to the facts?
  1. LEGAL CONCLUSION: After each of the previous four (4) steps have been concluded, the student should draw conclusions. What should happen and why?

Ethical Analysis Model

  1. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The student should identify the relevant facts. He or she should sort through the information available in the case and decide what information, ideas, and facts are important and crucial in examining the case problem. To save time and space, if the factual statement for the ethical analysis model is the same as for the Legal Analysis Model, the reader can be referred to the factual statement under the Legal Analysis Model.
  1. ETHICAL ISSUE STATEMENT: Just as with the legal issue statement, what are the key ethical issues involved in the case? These may or may not be the same as the legal issues. Again, while one may identify many ethical issues in any case, it is important to identify no more than two (2) of what might be considered to be the key ethical issues for each case. The ethical issue statements should begin with the key words: “The ethical issue is: ‘Is it ethical to ....?’”
  1. SUPPORT FOR ETHICAL ISSUES: What evidence in the case suggests or supports the identification of the ethical issues that the student has cited? What leads the student to believe that the ethical problems he/she sees are actually there? What assumptions does the student have to make in order to examine and evaluate the ethical questions?
  1. ETHICAL ALTERNATIVES: What ethical alternatives exist? Are there any other ethical theories that might support an alternative way to resolve the ethical issue? Are there other options?
  1. CHOOSING AN ETHICAL OPTION: What is the student's judgment about the appropriate ethical action to take in this case? Ethically, what should be done and why? What evidence and reasoning support the student's decision and recommended course of action?

In analyzing the case assignments throughout this course, there is an expectation that you will use the two models as general guides for both the ethical and legal analyses of those cases. They are not the only possible models, but they are workable tools to provide a useful framework for case analysis.

Turn in by the end of week one the name of the company that you will use as a reference for the compliance plan that is due at the end of the eighth week.
