Assignment 7: Prepare a memorandum of law on whether your state would allow punitive damages
against the retail store and/or manufacturer based on the facts of the Mosley case.
Assignment 8: You have been assigned to work on the Mosley case with Plaintiffs’ attorney,
Theodore Tyson. Mr. Tyson has asked you to prepare a settlement demand letter to the Defendant
