Investigative Report, Fact Particularization (See Introduction to Paralegalism, Chapters 8 and 9.)

Fact particularization is a technique for generating a list of factual questions that will help you obtain a comprehensive picture of all available facts relevant to a legal issue.

Your investigative report will be a fact particularization. Read the facts of the Brown v. Hammond et al. case (Chapter 5, "Reporting Professional Misconduct," in your textbook), and particularize each fact using the categories of questions in Exhibit 8.5.

Once you've completed the fact particularization, organize the information into a memorandum for the fictional law office (Stewart Law Office) with the following opening elements:

To: Attorney Stewart From: Your name Date: The date the memorandum is prepared Subject: Investigative Report: Brown v. Hammond et al.
