Question: Read the "You Be the Judge". It is the case of Huff v. Shaw.
Review the facts, and the arguments of each party in the case.
Discuss: 1. what is the legal issue in the case (i.e. what question of law needs to be resolved)?; and
2. as the judge, decide for one party or the other. State your reasoning. Try to go beyond reiterating the argument given in the text. Also, don't rely on your instinct. Apply the law.
Note: This case has local origins. It involved board members for the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport.
