Using the IRAC analysis to write a paper on this case study about torts.

Could someone please use this case study and these instructions to give me help on how to set up this paper? From the case study that is attached in the instructions on this post, I need the Issues involved in the case, the Rules that apply to each issue, an Analysis on how the rules apply to the issues, and a conclusion of the issues all concerning the case study.

Here is the text form of the case and instructions:

Case Scenario. Danny, a computer hacker and aspiring comedian, founded the Society of Pranksters, a network of prank callers. Danny records and then uploads his prank calls to YouTube. In one such prank, Danny called a pizza store (“Store”) claiming to be from the corporate office, and convinced the Store’s employee to give him the names, phone numbers, and order details of the people who had most recently placed orders. Juvenile hilarity ensued as Danny then made a prank call to one of the individuals who had just ordered a pizza (“Customer”). In the call, Danny (falsely) represented that he was the manager of the pizza store, and told Customer—who was a strict vegetarian—that his pizza would have to include sausage, because the sausage would otherwise go to waste. The conversation lasted about 15 minutes and ended with the frustrated Customer calling the Store and cancelling his order (for which he had not yet paid). The Store had already made the pizza and was prepared to deliver it. Danny was on his cell phone and was driving his car at the time of the prank. As he went to hang up his phone at the conclusion of the call, Danny took his eyes off of the road for several seconds and collided with Pam’s car, which was properly stopped at a red light. Pam suffered several physical injuries and her car was totaled.

Instructions. This exercise is designed for you to demonstrate further your understanding and use of the IRAC process to analyze issues of liability that appear in the case scenario below. This time, unlike Writing Assignment 1 where you were given the Rule and guided through the Analysis, you must create all parts of IRAC (Issue, Rule, Analysis, Conclusion) for your paper. Start with the two issues and write an issue statement that is a legal question (again, just like you did in Writing Assignment 1, although this time the issue(s) won’t have to do with ethics, but instead should involve tort liability).

To put this into the IRAC framework, you should:

(1) Identify liability issue(s) (Issue);

(2) Identify and describe the legal rules and/or laws that apply to those issues (Rule);

(3) Connect relevant facts (from the fact scenario) to the Rule(s) you identified in paragraph 2 (Analysis); and

(4) Summarize your conclusions regarding tort liability (Conclusion).

Differing Perceptions at Clarkston Industries1

Susan Harrington continued to drum her fingers on her desk. She had a real problem and wasn’t sure what to do next. She had a lot of confidence in Jack Reed, but she suspected she was about the last person in the office who did. Perhaps if she ran through the entire story again in her mind she would see the solution.

Susan had been distribution manager for Clarkston Industries for almost twenty years. An early brush with the law and a short stay in prison had made her realize the importance of honesty and hard work. Henry Clarkston had given her a chance despite her record, and Susan had made the most of it. She now was one of the most respected managers in the company. Few people knew her background.

Susan had hired Jack Reed fresh out of prison six months ago. Susan understood how Jack felt when Jack tried to explain his past and asked for another chance. Susan decided to give him that chance just as Henry Clarkston had given her one. Jack eagerly accepted a job on the loading docks and could soon load a truck as fast as anyone in the crew.

Things had gone well at first. Everyone seemed to like Jack, and he made several new friends. Susan had been vaguely disturbed about two months ago, however, when another dock worker reported his wallet missing. She confronted Jack about this and was reassured when Jack understood her concern and earnestly but calmly asserted his innocence. Susan was especially relieved when the wallet was found a few days later.

The events of last week, however, had caused serious trouble. First, a new personnel clerk had come across records about Jack’s past while updating employee files. Assuming that the information was common knowledge, the clerk had mentioned to several employees what a good thing it was to give ex-convicts like Jack a chance. The next day, someone in bookkeeping discovered some money missing from petty cash. Another worker claimed to have seen Jack in the area around the office strongbox, which was open during working hours, earlier that same day.

Most people assumed Jack was the thief. Even the worker whose wallet had been misplaced suggested that perhaps Jack had indeed stolen it but had returned it when questioned. Several employees had approached Susan and requested that Jack be fired. Meanwhile, when Susan had discussed the problem with Jack, Jack had been defensive and sullen and said little about the petty-cash situation other than to deny stealing the money.

To her dismay, Susan found that rethinking the story did little to solve his problem. Should she fire Jack? The evidence, of course, was purely circumstantial, yet everybody else seemed to see things quite clearly. Susan feared that if she did not fire Jack, she would lose everyone’s trust and that some people might even begin to question her own motives.

Q1: Explain the events in this case in terms of learning, perception, and attribution (18 marks, 3 marks for each point)?

Q2: If you were to decide about this case, would you fire Jack or give him another chance? Why?

Q3: Does personality play a role in this case?
