Hypothetical Scenario for Tasks 2 & 3: At the start of her work day on May 4, 2014, Lily F. Pardue, a single mother of two preschool children, was dismissed from her position at the Edgewater, Maryland office of Bowie Bank and Trust. Ms. Pardue, the only female division head, held the position of manager of the consumer loan division for just over four years. She was formerly a bank teller at another bank for three years. Ms. Pardue still has a copy of the application form she filled out when she applied for the position at Bowie. The application form states at the top: The relationship between you and the Bank is predicated on an at-will basis. That is to say that either the Employee or the Bank may terminate employment at their discretion. When Ms. Pardue received her dismissal notice, the vice president for personnel at the main office told her by phone that the national office has reviewed your file and considered all relevant circumstances and recommended your dismissal. When asked for specifics, the vice president said that specifics are not important; the decision has already been made. Ms. Pardue is upset because she was given no specific reason for her dismissal and had no opportunity to meet with her supervisors to hear their concerns and to respond. Before this period, Ms. Pardues work record had been very good and she had routinely received high evaluations. Also, she had participated in several internal management training programs and had received a certificate of excellence upon completion of each one. Ms. Pardue has also shown you an employee policy manual that she said was given to her when she first started work. The policy manual, entitled Employee Policies and Procedures for Loan Officers and Managers: Bowie Bank and Trust, describes procedures for dismissal of loan officers and managers. It specifically outlines that an employee would be dismissed only for cause. In such circumstances, the manual states, an officer or manager with a less than satisfactory work record will first receive a written statement of reasons as to why performance has been considered to be unsatisfactory, and a probationary period of at least one quarter (three months) will be imposed before a permanent dismissal will take place. You have been asked to research the issue of whether the bank is contractually obligated to follow the dismissal procedures described in the employee manual. Task 2: Analyzing Facts (1 point) When clients tell their stories, it may sometimes be a challenge to distill the information needed to begin your research. Some facts that may be presented in a client interview or transcript may be relevant to the issue you have been asked to research, while some facts may be legally unimportant to that issue. Using the Pardue fact hypothetical and statement of the issue, provide an example of a relevant fact and an example of a legally unimportant fact. Briefly explain your answers. Task 3: Preliminary Analysis (2 points) In preparation for researching the Pardue case, perform a preliminary analysis and formulate a research plan. Write one paragraph describing your analysis and plan
