Carefully read Hastings v. Baton Rouge Hospital, 498 So.2d 713 (La. 1986), a negligence case in which the Hastings’ 19-year old son died of stab wounds at the emergency room of the Baton Rouge Hospital, after an unsuccessful attempt to transfer him to another hospital instead of performing necessary emergent thoracotomy.
The students are expected to summarize the facts of the case (what happened that led to the lawsuit and how it progressed through the courts) and create a case brief using the IRAC method. IRAC (Issue, Rule, Analysis, and Conclusion) is an acronym for a method for summarizing legal opinions. The “Issue” is the question or problem that the court was addressing (this should be in a form of a question). The “Rule” is the rule or legal principle announced by the court’s holding. The “Analysis” is a brief summary of the court’s reasoning behind the ruling. This may include references to particular laws, policy implications, or other court cases. Finally, the “Conclusion” addresses the applicability of the holding to similar cases. Did the court limit the holding to certain facts or situations? Did the analysis leave room for change or were parameters clearly defined so that the rule is limited in application?
The students are expected to carefully read the assignment instructions, then thoroughly and explicitly address each component of the case summary and brief.
Please include three references and in text quotes with citations. Please be detailed as well and label each part of the IRAC method.
