I have never written a memo before. If I can just get help getting it started. Thank you so much.

Assume that the higher on the chart the case is the more expensive it is for all parties.
Write a memo on a state (not federal) level business dispute. Describe as if you were writing a "white paper" for your boss who wants to know how a case like the one you have chosen would be processed throughout the various legal phases in a state court system.
Because most cases never make it to trail, it is also important to consider alternative methods of dispute resolution. Suppose your selected case was initially submitted to ADR. What methods of ADR would be available to pursue? Which of these ADR methods do you think would be the most appropriate? Why?

REQUIRED elements:
Discuss the differences in costs and benefits of going through traditional litigation and pursuing ADR in this case (consider or example, why one of the parties in the case you're looking at may have preferred keeping the case out of court).
