Funeral director has been found liable for a wrongdoing
The purpose of the case study assignment is to research a court case in which a funeral director has been found liable for a wrongdoing. There are literally thousands of documented cases that can be found online. Once you have researched a case, you will type a summary and critical analysis of the case.
The Assignment
You must write a summary and critical analysis for your researched case study. Simply summarizing a case is not enough. Remember, civil or criminal judgments do not necessarily mean there was a breach of funeral law. What is your assessment of the funeral home’s behavior and subsequent court rulings vis-a-vis funeral law (not feelings)?
The assignment should be typed and words should be spelled correctly.
Grading Criteria
The paper should be no less than one page in length. A title page is not necessary, but you should cite your references on a separate page. Your name, course and section number, and assignment title should be listed on the title page. Your paper should be double-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman or Arial font, and one-inch margins. Make certain to cite your references. This assignment is worth 3.33% of your final grade.
