Video Case Study: Court Systems and JurisdictionSupreme Court Sides With Walmart

I had to watch the video case study and now must write a one- to two-page reflective paper (double spaced) on the following questions while discussing the connections between business, law, politics, and ethics.

1. This story is about the Supreme Courts decision. What process did this case have to go through to get to the Supreme Court?

2. In the story, two justices wrote differing opinions about the issue. Discuss the differences between a majority opinion, a concurring opinion, and a dissenting opinion. What effect does each type of opinion have on the state of the law in America?

3. What type of jurisdiction did the federal courts have in this case? Was it a federal question case or a diversity of citizenship case? Why?

Thoughts??
