Alice is an employee of Elephant Enterprises. She is unhappy with the fact that she has not been given a raise and works extremely long hours. Alice decides to go into business for herself after many months of thinking it over. Before she leaves her position, she makes copies of all her contacts within the Elephant Enterprise database. As she begins her new business, she touches base with her old contacts to try and solicit their business. A statute in the state where Alice and Elephant Enterprises conducts business prohibits the taking of trade secrets from a former business. Has Alice violated any statute, what tool of reasoning should apply and how could that tool be employed to support its reasoning?
