Question 3. (Chapter 2, 4 and 5

You are a new associate at the law firm of Jefferson & Whitman.A senior partner from the litigation groupwe'll call her "Janet"calls you in to her office one morning, and says the following:

We have represented JF Shea, Co. Inc. a large construction company headquartered in Bethesda, MD, for a long timein fact, Shea was the first client I ever brought to the firm, and we've done a lot of business with them since then.Mostly it's commercial litigationcontractor-subcontractor problems, some employee lawsuits, some ordinary tort stuffthat's what I work on for them.We also do a lot of their financing work as well.

I got a call this morning from John, Shea's general counsel.In passing, he mentioned that the firm tried to get the www.shea.com site on the Internet, but couldn't, because it is already in use (by a law firm, no lesssome firm named Shea & Shea).He asked me what they could do about that, and I had to admit to him that I hadn't the faintest idea.

Write a memo on this subject.Keep in mind that "Janet" really knows next-to-nothing about this whole "Internet domain name" thingit would be nice if you could give her some background on what these are and how the whole system operates, along with some idea of what kind of recourse Shea might have, and how they might get the www.shea.com site.
