Assignment Guidelines

A case brief is an organized, written summary of the essential elements of a judicial opinion. They are useful tools to assist you in learning to analyze the law. To brief a case, you must first carefully read the assigned cases to gain an overall understanding of the facts of the case, the decision rendered by the court, and the reasoning behind the court’s decision. You will summarize what the justices said in the case and not give your analysis of the decision. Write your brief as if you’re trying to explain your case to a classmate.

  • Address the following in 1,000–1,250 words:
    • Read and brief the following cases:
      • U.S. v. Bailey, 444 U.S. 394 (1980)
    • Your case brief should follow the format below:
      • Name of the case and citation: Title of the selected case
      • Facts of the case: Summary of the events, court timeline, evidence, and so forth
      • Legal issues: Issues that were present in this case
      • Court’s decision: The court’s decision and the conclusion to the case
      • Rationale: The reasoning behind the final decision (Why did the court rule this way?)
      • Dissenting opinions: Any disputing or disagreeing opinions with an explanation of what they were and why they were raised

Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.

Supporting Document 2: Resistance Risk Mitigation Intervention Table
Due Week 6 and worth 100 points

Using the same scenario from Assignment 1, you realize that transitioning your organization to a learning environment may not be as easy as first imagined. You have encountered several resistance issues relating to the culture, psychological learning, organization structure, workforce commitment, and dissemination of knowledge. You decide to gather a decision-making team to assist in identifying the high or moderate resistance risks that may stop or slow down the process of this transition. The decision-making team must also recommend some mitigation intervention to lower the identified resistance risks to either moderate or low. For example, a high resistance risk can become moderate or low and moderate resistance risk can become low.

Your final product will be a table that identifies five (5) issues related to the organization’s culture, psychological learning, organization structure, workforce commitment, and dissemination of knowledge. You must also provide a description of each resistance issue and rate the resistance risk before the mitigation intervention as either High (H) or Moderate (M). Then, you must provide a description of your team’s mitigation intervention and determine the resistance risk’s downgrade from High (H) to Moderate (M) or Low (L) and / or Moderate (M) to Low (L) after the mitigation intervention.

Create a table in which you:

  1. Determine one (1) challenge in the culture that may cause a major resistance to the transition from individual learning to organizational learning. Next, recommend one (1) mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
  2. Predict one (1) psychological learning threat that may result from the transition and then provide one (1) mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
  3. Assess the current organization structure as it relates to the free flow of knowledge then specify one (1) issue that may cause a major resistance to the transition. Provide one (1) mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
  4. Critique the workforce commitment to this transition and predict one (1) major resistance you may encounter. Next, provide a mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
  5. Propose one (1) dissemination of knowledge issue with the recipients’ ability to absorb the knowledge and comprehend it into action (i.e., motivating the recipient to share knowledge). Next, provide one (1) mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
  6. Use the Resistance Risk Mitigation Intervention Table template located here. You may also use Microsoft Word or other equivalent software to create a table in an equivalent format for this supporting document.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
