Note – Both the primary post and the reply posts must contain and be based upon legal definitions and not personal opinions.  Stated facts or legal definitions without references will not count.  In this DFA, you must reference the e-text chapter for each of your definitions.  If you conduct research outside of the e-text, you must show those references at the bottom of the primary or reply post.

Remember that DFAs cannot be submitted late.

IMPORTANT: You must FIRST create a post to reply to question 1.  After you have replied to question 1, you will then be able to see your classmates' responses.  You will then create a SECOND post to address question 2, where you respond to two of your classmates. Remember that the primary or first post is due by Wednesday night in order to retain full point scoring options.

Note – your explanation must contain a legal basis and a reference to the legal source of your information – think about the IRAC structure as a guide.

B. PART B – after you have posted your reply for question 1, create two other posts to respond to your classmates on question 2:
