IRAC Scenario Greenacre

IRAC Scenario Greenacre has been hit with a severe recession Jack lost his management position at Kicks and Laces, a shoe company located in the City of Greenacre. Greenacre Penal Code section 232 states that Grand theft (a felony) is committed when a person takes property of another which value exceeds nine hundred fifty dollars ($950). Although Jack returned the keys to management, several years ago Jack had made an extra key for the front door of Kicks and Laces just in case he lost the key that was assigned to him by ownership. With Christmas right around the corner Jack realizes that he won’t be able to afford to buy his children gifts and probably won’t be able to put up a Christmas tree. Jack therefore one night at 10:00pm, when the store is was closed, Jack uses his extra key to enter Kicks and Laces. Once in the store, Jack takes $1,000 out of the safe and three pairs of shoes, one for his 5-year old son, one for his 10-year old son and another pair for his wife. These shoes were valued at $600.(unique_solution)

IRAC Scenario

Greenacre High School (GHS) and Yellowacre High School (YHS) have been rivals for over 30 decades. Every April the there is a tournament at GHS were teams from across the state play for the coveted “County Trophy”, in which the winning team is crowned the state champions. This year the final game is between GHS and YHS.

Bob is an all-star player on the GHS basketball team. Bob is jealous of Jack (YHS) because Jack has already been offered basketball scholarships at two separate Division I universities.

On game day Bob sees Jack coming out of the locker room and says, “Hey Jack, I hope you break a leg in the game today”, and throws a basketball at Jack’s face. Jack flinches as the ball hits him directly in the face.

Jack has brought a law suit against Bob for Assault and Battery.

Based on above scenario (facts), students should prepare an IRAC.

Follow these instructions!

Discuss the legal issues pertaining to Bob’s actions. You need to prepare a separate IRAC for each of the Issues (Assault and Battery). Which means you must prepare an IRAC for Assault (Issue, Rule, Analysis and Conclusion) and then a totally different IRAC for Battery (Issue, Rule, Analysis and Conclusion). This is true with every issue. NEVER discuss more than one issue at a time and never state more than one rule at a time.

Please see below for additional instructions on how to complete an IRAC. Also review the supplemental material in the rear of the textbook.

Rules (I’m giving students the rules to use. Don’t use any other rules!!!!)

• Assault – An intentional act causing a person reasonable apprehension or fear of an immediate harmful or offensive contact.
• Battery – An intentional act causing harmful or offensive contact to another person.
