Dear Class:
Your Ethical-Legal Paper involves knowing how to brief a legal case, selecting a legal issue and identifying and selecting an adjudicated case related to a legal issue. Every legal case has underlying ethical issues.
Examples of legal issues are: medical malpractice, assault and battery, use of expert witness, lack of informed consent, fraud, qui tam law, misrepresentation, wrongful death, false imprisonment, and many more.
