It has been six months since Attorney Blanchard asked you to conduct some research (for the daughter of one of the firm’s VIP clients) regarding the laws and regulations that apply to massage therapists in your home state. Since that time, the client’s daughter, Alexis Smoothie, has now become a client herself. Her new business, Smoothies for All, LLC, has gotten off to a rocky start. In fact, just a few days after she opened her spa, one of her first customers slipped on the wet floor, fell on her face, and broke her nose in two places.
The customer, Mrs. I. M. Fancy, has now sued Smoothies for All as well as Alexis individually for negligence. Alexis has hired the firm to represent her; and she also seeks legal advice as to whether Mrs. Fancy will be successful in her lawsuit.
According to Alexis, the area of the floor where Mrs. Fancy slipped was cordoned off with two bright yellow Caution – Wet Floor markers. Alexis also insists that Mrs. Fancy knew the floor was wet because she made a comment about how unprofessional and ugly the caution markers were just a few minutes before she fell. She was also wearing three-inch stiletto heels at the time.
Because of your quality research on the legal requirements for massage therapists, Attorney Blanchard has asked you work on this new matter. Specifically, she anticipates that you will research the law as it applies the Smoothies for All scenario.
However, before you conduct any research, Attorney Blanchard has asked that you prepare a research plan that she will then review with Alexis to discuss.
For this week’s assignment, please prepare a research plan that includes the following items:
1. A list of factual and legal terms that you anticipate using as search terms.
2. A list of legal issues that must be addressed through your research.
3. Any further information you anticipate we may need to clarify.
4. A list of three primary sources of law you intend to research (from the state you chose!!!)
5. A list of at least two secondary sources of law you intend to research.
6. Your best estimation on the number of hours you believe your research will take.

Which of the following best describes the principle of informed consent as described in the belmont report? a. voluntariness, risk/benefit assessment, selection of subjects. b. comprehension, conflicts of interest, risk/benefit ratio. c. risk/benefit assessment, justification of research, comprehension. d. information, comprehension, voluntariness.

At what part does suspect become classified as a defendant?

September 10, 2016: you’ve been assigned to investigate a hit-and-run incident. when you arrive at the scene, it’s raining and foggy. the roads are slick. it looks like the crash occurred during the early evening, about 5: 30 pm, a couple hours before dark. you notice a green 2010 chevrolet camaro lying off the road on an embankment and a blue 2014 toyota camry several yards back. both vehicles are damaged. robert b., the driver of the camaro, had severe back injuries and was taken to the hospital. the only witness is the toyota driver, fred h. fred h. was driving in the right lane when the accident occurred. according to fred, a red ford pickup truck (year and model unknown) suddenly swerved across the highway from the left lane. the pickup truck hit the front left side of the camaro in one of the center lanes, pushing it off the road before speeding away. the camaro lost control and sideswiped the toyota as it skidded across the highway, denting the toyota’s left side panels. the camaro then skidded across the grass to the right of the highway and crashed into a low concrete wall. the hood and both sides of the camaro have extensive damage. the toyota driver pulled up behind the camaro and called the police. the accident occurred near miami, florida, on i-95 northbound, a 5-lane highway. it happened just before the exit 16 offramp. fred h. and robert b. both passed breathalyzer tests. neither had any passengers in the car. as you search the scene, you notice: tire tracks/skid marks left on the pavement deep red scrapes across the camaro’s panels and green scrapes across the toyota’s panels broken car window fragments of a hood or panel a torn rag an empty beer can deep tire marks and footprints in the mud of the embankment at the scene use the information above to answer the following questions. for each of a – e above, give an example of a type of evidence you could collect from that item and how you would collect it. (one to two sentences each) fill out a crash form for the incident. use the form florida crash report and use the information in the description above to create a brief three- to five-sentence summary for the “narrative” section. use the witness’s description to draw a diagram of the incident. if you can’t find a piece of information for the form, just leave that part blank. impression evidence three separate tire marks were collected from the scene. the marks were found in a pattern that supports fred’s version of events. three tire tread marks, a, b, and c. tire a appears to be worn flat in the middle from overinflation, tire b is narrow and appears worn on the outside edges, tire c looks normal and is not worn at all tires leave different types of marks based on their wear patterns. for example, tires that are constantly flat will leave different impressions than tires that are normally inflated or overinflated. the tires tend to wear out on the parts that are most exposed to the road. you checked out the tires of the two vehicles at the scene. here’s what you found: two tires side by side. a camaro tire which appears to be in good shape, and a toyota tire which appears worn on the outside edges the camaro had normal tires, but the toyota’s tires were a little flat and overly worn on the outside edges. the condition of the red ford truck’s tires is unknown. match the three impressions with the cars that most likely created them. what can you hypothesize about the red pickup’s tires? could this have anything to do with the accident? explain your answer. (two to four sentences) a red pickup fitting fred’s description was later seen running a stoplight. police pulled it over for a check. its tire impressions looked like this: a single tire tread mark which appears worn on the outside edges based on the evidence, do you think this was the same red pickup that rammed the camaro? why or why not? (one to two sentences)
