Assignment Task: Using the full case opinion of Wade v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (found in the Discussion Boards Assignments Module and the Week 2 module in Learning Modules in Blackboard), set forth in your own words the facts of this case. The facts include everything that happened that led to the filing of the lawsuit, what the parties (Ms. Wade and Wal-Mart) did before and after the lawsuit was filed, and what the lower court decided before the case was appealed to the appellate court that wrote the case opinion. The facts can be found on pages 2 and 3 of the opinion, starting at the heading "I. Background" and ending with the words "This appeal followed." However, you should read the entire opinion before beginning this assignment. Do not copy the language of the case opinion. Use the full court opinion, not the abridged opinion in the book.
Once you have completed your initial post containing a summary of the facts of this case in your own words, review your fellow students' posts and respond in a substantive way to one or more of those posts. Simple agreement is not enough -- you must provide comments and your opinion of their review of the facts of the case.
