Use the criminal complaint to exercise the IRAC Method
For students interested in earning some extra credit, this is an opportunity that builds upon the case you read in the final exam, State of Wisconsin v. Hussein (2020). After reading through the case criminal complaint and completing the final exam, students can use the criminal complaint to exercise the IRAC Method for Charge 1 – Chronic Neglect of a Child (Consequence is Death). The State of Wisconsin charged the defendant with this count. Using this count (as detailed below and in the criminal complaint), complete an IRAC analysis to determine whether the prosecution can prove this charge against the defendant in court.
Utilize the IRAC Method Guidelines to ensure your submission meets the requirements (formatting/template); be sure to address each step of the IRAC Method. Also – be sure to include a reference page and cite any/all sources used to complete the extra credit opportunity. Students can use external resources, if necessary, for the extra credit. (No external resources are allowed for the Final Exam itself).
