sports (hint: look at current news or legal proceedings). What are the facts
of the issue? Who are the stakeholders in the legal decision? Which
organizations and courts hold jurisdiction? What legal standards (laws and
statutes) and cases should be applied? Is there legal precedence? Are there
contrary legal points of view that must be considered? What will the
expected and potential unintended consequences of either side winning the
case? Is a compromise or collaboration possible or preferable to both sides?
How can we prevent (or reduce the rate of occurrence of) this issue from
occurring in the future?
