Answer prompts with reasoning and detail please 1. The Orleans Parish School Board hired Johnson & Higgins (J & H) to provide consulting services. J & H provided those services over the next few years but was then acquired by Marsh & McLennan, a larger insurance firm. Marsh continued the work that J & H had been doing and submitted an invoice to the Orleans Parish School Board for reimbursement. The Board said that it had no contractual arrangement with Marsh and, as such, was not liable for the services. Is the Board correct? Describe what happened in the relationships and apply the principles of corporate law to determine whether Marsh can be paid. [Marsh Advantage America v Orleans School Board, 995 So. 2d (La. App. 2008)]

2. McNeil, a division of Johnson & Johnson, had significant problems with quality control on its products, including infant Tylenol and Motrin. Worn equipment in plants resulted in metal flakes in some of the company's products. The result was federal sanctions and a series of lawsuits by users of the products. The shareholders brought suit against the directors for their failure to supervise the company's activities and facilities. Can the shareholders sue the directors for these reasons? Who recovers if they can sue? What theories would the shareholders use? [Monk v Johnson & Johnson, 2011 WL 6339824 (D. N.J. 2011)]

3. Reverend John Fisher is the pastor of St. James Episcopal Church in Ohio. Catherine Davis served there as parish secretary from 1978 until six months after Reverend Fisher arrived at St. James in January 1988. Reverend Fisher fired her after she went to the bishop of the diocese to complain about sexual harassment by Reverend Fisher. The bishop promised an investigation, which was not conducted because Reverend Fisher denied the allegations. Ms. Davis then brought suit against the Episcopal Diocese. The diocese denied liability, claiming it was not in control of Reverend Fisher's actions because he was an independent contractor. Do you agree? [Davis v Black, 591 N.E.2d 11 (Ohio 1991)]
