In the midterm and the final you will select four of five presented questions to answer. Note that the exam fact patterns will call for analysis of more than one issue. Set up your answer by first stating the rules upon which you are relying to answer the question in list form using bullet points. Next, apply the facts to the rules to the facts in the scenario.
