Assignment:
Drafting a Complaint
Along with composing memoranda, a paralegal’s legal writing skills come into play in drafting other legal documents, whether as part of client communication or court filings. In this exercise, you’ll be drafting a complaint to be filed with the court. As such, format is very important, as is the ability to state a claim upon which the action is based, the law(s) violated, the damages suffered, and the remedies sought.
Draft a complaint against Alan, Andy, and the park district for the personal injuries sustained by John. Include separate counts if necessary.
Your answer must be, typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman font (size 12), one-inch margins on all sides, APA format.
