Read the "You Be the Judge" on p. 338 of the text. It is the case ofRoe v. TeleTech Customer Care Management.

Review the facts, and the arguments of each party in the case.

Review section 18-2a in the text on wrongful discharge.

The issue is:did TeleTech violate public policy? Did it wrongfully discharge Roe? Did it violate the MUMA?

First:

1. What are the common law protections for wrongful discharge?

2. What are the protections set forth in the Medical Use of Marijuana Act (MUMA)?

3. Was Roe protected from being fired from TeleTech? Why or why not?

As the judge, decide for one party or the other. State your reasoning. Go beyond reiterating the arguments given in the text. Also, don't rely on your instinct. Apply the law.

Second:

Consider what would you do ethically if you were TeleTech in this situation?
