#1: On Westlaw, find the actual case involving the 2 parties described above.

(HINT: It is a state not a federal case. Once you find it you will need to get and keep a copy in order to complete the rest of this writing assignment).

IMPORTANT NOTE:

When you find the case on Westlaw, make sure to give me the last decision in the case decided by the courts. This means that if the case went further in the legal system, i.e. from trial court to an appeal, you should be making sure you are reading the ultimate decision in the case - whichever is the "final" decision by a court, that is, the highest level court that decided the case. Also remember state court decisions are often reported in more than one reporter: a state reporter and a regional one which is why there should probably be at least 2 reporters for this case decision.

a) Give me the citations to the reporters (books) where this court decision (from #1, above) has been published.

b) What court decided this case (i.e. the ultimate decision in this case)? Is that court the highest court in that state or an intermediate appellate court?

#2: Using Westlaw: once you have found this case and pulled up the court decision, still on Westlaw, now go to "Citing References" for this case and:

Give me the name and citation to one other case that is cited as having a negative treatment of your case (that is, the case you found for #1, above).

What is the subject matter of that case that you have found?

#3: Still using Westlaw, find the state statute that the court relies on in your case (case from #1, above). Once you have found that statute:

a)What is the specific section of that statute that the court relied on in your case?

b)What is the name/heading of this section of the statute?

#4: Look at the key/headnotes in your case (found in #1, above). Find the key/headnote that addresses actions by nonresidents. Again, using "Citing References":

Give me the name and citation to one case decided after 2014 that cites your case for the topic listed in the key/headnote asked for in this question.

#5: Looking at the "Commentaries and Research References" category that follows the state statute you found in #3, above:

a) Give me the name and citation to one law review journal listed there.

b) Give me the name and citation from the ALR (American Law Reports) Library that discusses Internet Activities. ALR is not a law review.
