Assignment:
I want some assistance in finding relevant case-law on a project. I need to find case law (both State and Federal), statutes (both State and Federal), and recent newspaper and journal articles relating to a fact pattern below. The state I need to find case law for is Missouri.
In the end I (not you) will be writing a memorandum using this case law. My issue is that I never seem to be on point with the legal "issue." God knows, but I seem to stray around the edges.
The fact pattern I need to approach (and your help approaching to find relevant material - at least three cases along with Federal and Missouri Statutes) is:
XXX Company promoted Jason, a 35 year old employee, to a position as foreman while passing over David, a 60 year old employee. Jason has been with the Company only two years but according to the immediate supervisor, "is going places in this Company". David has been with the company for 15 years with excellent evaluations. When David applied for the job, his supervisor told him he was too old for the job and he preferred a younger man who would be in the job for "more than just a couple of years". David is now threatening suit.
