For this assignment, you should find three to five articles that discuss a current issue in Employment Law.  Appropriate sources include The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, Forbes, Fortune, among others.  The issue should touch on an area we have discussed in class.  Some suggestions for topics include:  1) recent cases of sexual harassment;  2) developments in sexual orientation discrimination;  3) recent class actions in employment law;  4) recent and/or pending Supreme Court decisions addressing employment law (e.g. labor law, class actions, affirmative action);  5) voluntary affirmative action plans; 6) gender issues in the workplace; 7) recent issue of disability law.  This list is not exhaustive.
The paper should be 3-4 pages long, double-spaced.  About 2/3 of the paper should be a general discussion of the current issue, including a discussion of the applicable law, how the law is being interpreted, and whether reform of the applicable law is proposed or is needed.  If there is any debate surrounding the law, describe the various positions on the issues.  The bulk of the paper should be descriptive; however, the remaining 1/3 of the paper should be analytical:  is the law good or bad?  What, if anything, should be changed about the law?  Do the courts, administrative agencies/government do a good job in interpreting and enforcing the law?
Please include a bibliography.

students will submit final 3-page essay analyzing James Madison’s Federalist #51.  Additionally, students will have to incorporate at least two of the numerous units that we engaged in as a class this semester, to support their analysis. In Federalist Paper #51 James Madison wrote… “If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions.  Students will be responsible for addressing the following topics in their essay:
1.  Madison discusses the importance of a horizontal system of checks and balances.  Please address what he means by this, and provide two to three examples of the real-life implementation of these horizontal checks and balances;
2.  Madison discusses the importance of a vertical system of separation of powers.  Please address what he means by this, and provide two to three examples of the real-life implementation of these vertical separations of power;
3.  Please address whether you agree with Madison’s impression about people and whether they are angels, and whether such an elaborate form of government is needed to protect humans from themselves. You must incorporate at least one of the units we engaged in as a class when answering this topic.
4.  Please address what you believe Madison means when he discusses the “great difficulty” in framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, whether you agree with this contention, and why you agree or disagree. You must incorporate at least one of the units we engaged in as a class when answering this topic.
5.  Provide a real life example of someone or some group of people that have tried to overstep their authority when in a position of power, and how our system prevented the individual or group from overstepping their authority.  
6.  Finally, as a concluding paragraph, provide your opinion on whether our government needs to be improved, or whether you think it is built to withstand the test of time.

qualifications and limitations, and their relationships to each other.

thoroughly.
Your answers should be complete, but you should not volunteer information or discuss

Question 1
Alfred is in the business of construction of new homes and has been seeking
substantial additional financing to grow his business. Alfred knows that he must grow his
business and increase revenue or face inevitable failure. Alfred has been unsuccessful in
trying to secure private financing for the expansion of his business, and he is left with no
alternative but to seek financing from banks. Alfred prepared a profit and loss statement
which included nonexistent contracts and accounts receivable in the sum of $1,000,000.00.
Alfred approached a number of banks to obtain loans; however, the banks declined to give
him any loans without an audit by an independent public accountant.
Magic Accountancy Company, a firm of accountants, had been performing
bookkeeping and accounting work for Alfred for a number of years. Alfred asked Magic
Accountancy Company to audit and certify the profit and loss statement. Alfred informed
Magic Accountancy Company that he intended to submit the certified profit and loss
statement only to Titan Bank for the purpose of obtaining a loan. Magic Accountancy
Company never had any previous business dealings with Titan Bank.
Magic Accountancy Company proceeded to audit the profit and loss statement and
discovered that it reflected non-existent contracts and accounts receivables in the sum of
$1,000,000.00. Magic Accountancy Company informed Alfred that they had discovered that
he had included nonexistent contracts and accounts receivable on his profit and loss
statement. Alfred informed Magic Accountancy Company that if they did not certify the
profit and loss statement, they would be replaced by another accountancy firm.
Magic Accountancy Company did not want to lose Alfred’s business and after a
great deal of consideration, Magic Accountancy Company decided to certify Alfred’s profit
and loss statement. Alfred proceeded to submit the certified profit and loss statement to
Titan Bank. Titan Bank was being audited by the Security and Exchange Commission for
violation of banking regulations. The audit led to the Securities and Exchange Commission
terminating the operations of Titan Bank. Alfred without any further communication with
Magic Accountancy Company submitted the certified profit and loss statement to Friendly
Bank. Friendly Bank, in reliance upon Magic Accountancy Company’s audit and certification
of the profit and loss statement, made a $1,000,000.00 loan to Alfred.
Despite the loan, Alfred’s financial struggles continued and he was eventually forced
into bankruptcy. Alfred’s bankruptcy resulted in Friendly Bank suffering a $1,000,000.00
loss.
Discuss the rights of Friendly Bank, if any, against Magic Accountancy Company.
