Analyze the facts related to contract issues based on your company’s perspective. Identify the operative employment and contract laws that apply to your company’s case. In the Precedent section, select cases that support your company’s position in terms of employment discrimination or unlawful termination. Justify why they support its case. Select cases that support your company’s position in terms of contract disputes. Justify why they support its case. In the Facts to be Determined section, determine any facts that will help you better analyze your company’s position. In other words, what questions do you need answered before you can proceed? Explain how the identified facts will help establish the legal rights and/or obligations of the defendant in relation to your company.

- FACTS TO BE DETERMINED (based on the case law presented, what additional facts, if true, might alter the predicted outcome of the litigation, e.g., “Did the Company have actual knowledge of Lawson’s pregnancy? Were all other junior secretaries terminated, or were they offered other positions in the company?) be sure to explain how the facts, if true, might impact the outcome of the litigation.
