Assignment Clarification

As discussed in class, this assignment is a two-page exercise designed to give the class exposure to a significant privacy-related case, the concepts found it in and to get you “writing”. Because of the size of the assignment, it is more of a “brief” than a “memo”. James and I did not, between ourselves, speak to this distinction in terminology used in law school (as between “memo” and “brief”). In non-law school terms, I would have asked for a “memo” giving me a synopsis of the case as opposed to a “memo” on an issue, an area of law or specific question. James’s examples are useful but we did limit the class to a two-page assignment which means one must adjust accordingly. We are not assessing analytical skills in this small assignment but  rather your writing skills.

1. Your submission is due no later than 14h29 (2:29 pm) on 12 February 2014; and 
2. It is to be in electronic format (i.e. Word or .pdf).
