CASE: My client, Bradley Harper, a university football coach, has been accused of making his players shoot steroids. A student newspaper reporter, Sheila O'Fay, hears a rumor that Harper has been giving the players steroids. O'Fay happens to sit next to two football players in one of her classes and asks the players whether they know anything about it. They say that they don't take steroids but that they have heard the rumor and think there might be some truth to it. O'Fay does no other investigating, nor does she attempt to contact your client before publishing a story in the university-funded newspaper, in which she affirmatively states that Harper makes his players shoot steroids. In the story, she cites the two football players as sources but does not mention their names.

The rumor turns out to be false. Harper has never given any players steroids, and all the players, as well as the other coaching staff, testify to it. Harper now comes to your firm, Scott and Free, P. A., hoping to file a defamation suit against the student. Remember, Scott and Free, P.A. are located in your state, thus you will use the law of Ohio.

Upon execution of the retainer agreement and the establishment of the billing schedule, Harper is ready to commence suit. My supervising attorney, Harper's representative, is in the middle of a toxic tort trial and does not have time to draft documents but will have time to review them. It is my responsibility to draft the following documents, under the supervision of my attorney:

• A complaint, to be filed in Ohio jurisdiction and alleging a cause of action, causation, and damages
• A summons for service of process on the defendant
