For this Assignment, you draft a complaint as if you are working for a paralegal for the law firm that represents Justin King. You should draft a complaint against Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc.

As stated in the accident report, the owner of the truck is Anheuser-Busch. Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. has its headquarters in the County of St. Louis, State of Missouri, and Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. also carries on business in the State of Illinois. Since Anheuser-Busch has its headquarters in Missouri, Anheuser-Busch is considered a citizen of Missouri for diversity of citizenship purposes. Justin King is a citizen of Illinois for diversity purposes. His address is 123 Main Street, Chicago, Illinois 60601 (In the Initial Client Interview, King indicates his address is 123 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri, but the correct address is 123 Main Street, Chicago, Illinois 60601). Frank Cuellar is the driver of the Anheuser-Busch truck in question. Cuellar is a resident and citizen of Cook County, Illinois. The accident took place in Paxton, Illinois. Paxton is located in Ford County, Illinois. The name of the court where you should file the complaint is the United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois. Federal court jurisdiction will be based on diversity of citizenship jurisdiction.

You can assume that the driver of the truck, Frank Cuellar, is an employee of Anheuser-Busch, and that Cuellar was acting within the scope of their employment at the time of the accident. As stated in the Initial Client Interview in Unit 1, King has $145,000 in past medical bills and has $100,000 in future medical expenses with plastic surgery and counseling.

Anheuser-Busch incurred total damages of $55,000 based on the accident involving Justin King. This includes $50,000 in damage to the beer truck and $5,000 in lost cargo. The vehicle was worth $120,000 before the accident and the vehicle was worth $70,000 immediately after the accident. As stated in the accident report, the date of the accident was April 8, 2016.

You should state only one cause of action for negligence in the complaint. The facts for the complaint should be based on the Initial Client Interview, information in the accident report, and the client intake form. For purposes of this simulated law office Assignment, do NOT include a summons or certificate of service. You should also not include the name of the judge or the civil action number since the court provides this information.

Use the Complaint Form to draft the complaint. Using the form, you should fill in the missing information. The complaint should be clean and presentable as if you were submitting the complaint to the court. Delete italics and instructions when using legal forms.

Certain sections of a complaint tend to be boilerplate language (for example, the greeting, damages, jury demand, prayer for relief). When looking at a complaint, sections are separate and in this order:

Case caption: Tells which court you are in and who the parties are. Leaves room for the court clerk to stamp a case number onto. Do not put this information in column format. The Dole case forgot the close-quotes down the middle to cordon off the names from the court space. See the Viacom case for a proper case caption.
Title of the pleading: The pleading here would be called the Complaint. In some jurisdictions, it is called a Petition.
Short introduction: A typical introduction might state: "Comes Now, the plaintiff, Justin King, by and through his attorney, and alleges:" (It can be just this short)
Parties: Who the parties are and where they reside to show the court it has personal jurisdiction over the parties.
Jurisdiction and Venue: What statute or statutes give the court authority to hear the subject matter of the case and that the chosen courthouse is the correct one (i.e., venue).
Allegations or Statement of Facts: What happened. Tell the story of the accident. Tell the story in the most succinct way possible. Do not skip around. Try to keep the flow so it is convincing. This is where computers are useful because you can cut and paste and rearrange paragraphs to make the client’s story more cohesive and enrapture the audience (the judge) to want to give you what you are asking for.
Causes of Action: What legal theories are you asserting? What duty did defendant have towards plaintiff? How did defendant breach that duty? How was plaintiff hurt by the breach? Each cause of action is listed separately. See Chapter 4 in the book for the facts needed to be alleged for each cause of action.
Damages: What is plaintiff asking for? Take a look at the damages request from the Dole case. It is a general damages request, and a lot of attorneys use just that wording in every complaint pleading they draft. Remember some lawyers consider this boilerplate language and cut from an old complaint pleading to paste into a new complaint pleading. (As you can tell, been there, done that to make life a little easier.) BUT keep in mind that depending on the causes of action you may need to be a lot more specific in your damages demand.
Jury Demand: If you want a jury, you have to ask for it.
Prayer for Relief: Ask the court nicely to help the plaintiff. Commonly considered boilerplate. The Dole E.coli case is a very good example.
Date when the complaint is submitted to the court: This is especially important because there will always be a statute of limitation, a statute of repose, etc. and time matters to the law.
Attorney information and signature: This is usually done single spaced, not double spaced. Remember the attorney’s bar number, street address, city, state and zip, phone number, and fax number. Also, who does the attorney represent?

I have attached the initial interview with the client that you should read prior to beginning this assignment and the complaint form that needs to be filled out for this assignment below

PGBM 48 – Project Management Assessment Brief

This is an Individual Assignment

Assignment Hand-In Date is TBA

All students must adhere strictly to the following assignment submission procedure:

1)  All assignments must include a cover sheet that provides the module name and identifying code (i.e. PGBM48 – Project Management) assignment part being addressed (e.g. Part 1 and / or Part 2), registered name, student number, cohort and batch number, location of study (i.e. MDIS, Singapore) and any other unique identifier of the module and/or student (see sample in Annex 1).

2)  As part of the University initiative to support the development of academic integrity, assessments will be checked for plagiarism, including through an electronic system, either internally or by a plagiarism checking service and be held for future checking and matching purposes.  Your assignment therefore must be submitted to the MDIS Blackboard for Turnitin checking.  Please note that:

1. i) The assignment submission must be in Word documents or PDF format. If you wish to submit in any other file format, please discuss this with your local tutor well before the assignment submission date.

1. ii) There will be a time lag for you to get Turnitin similarity check. You are therefore advice to factor in such delays and the leadtime needed to do any amendments to your assignment after the Turnitin results so that you will not miss the deadline.

iii)  Delay in the generation of Turnitin report is not an excuse for late submission.

3)   Download the Turnitin report (according to Annex 2) from MDIS blackboard and submit the PDF Turnitin report to the University of Sunderland Blackboard.

LEARNING OUTCOMES ASSESSED

Upon the completion of this module assessment, students will need to demonstrate;

Knowledge

K1. That they can appreciate the requirements for management control and the application of project control processes

K2. A critical understanding of the relationship between, cost and quality in achieving project objectives

Skills

S1. Skills relating to critical thinking and analysis of managing projects by using software tools

S2. Their ability to apply and evaluate tools and techniques associated with the management of Projects

S3. Their capability to evaluate projects from a financial, human resource and time related perspective

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The module will be assessed by one integrated assignment (The Project) of 5000 words +/- 10% weighted overall at 100%.  The assignment is split into two discrete elements:

1. Charter (1500 words) – 30%
2. Project Management Plan (PMP) report (3500) – 70%

• The reports must be structured in a formal manner and word processed.
• The word count excludes those words used in the final reference list, forms, templates, diagrams, figures, tables and charts.
• All references must be in Harvard style in line with the University of Sunderland criteria.
• The Gantt chart, Network Diagram, etc., should be produced using Microsoft Project software package (a copy with only 1 month usage license is attached to the inner back cover of your textbook supplied by MDIS)
• All submitted work will be subject to University of Sunderland’s checks for plagiarism.
• Students may refer to the marking criteria attached herewith (Annex 3) for insight into the level at which you are working in relation to the assessment for the module

Assessment Sequence:

A GUIDE ON CHOOSING THE PROJECT

There is only ONE assignment (consisting of two parts) for this module which is a progressive compilation of a project report for any project that you will select to work on.  You are encouraged to give it a suitable name that describes your project.

The key criteria to consider in choosing the project is not ‘what the project is’ but rather, is there sufficient scope to allow you to demonstrate the application of the wide range of tools and techniques introduced throughout each topic area.  The project should NOT be:

• a wedding, birthday or any family event
• a project developing an app, game or any IT programs
• a project implementing a change management initiative.

Project concepts with too narrow a scope are difficult to expand upon in demonstrating a full range of tools and techniques. However, projects that are initially perceived as being too large or broad in scope can typically be broken down to produce more than adequate scope for the purposes of this assessment.  For the requirement of this assessment, the project selected should be no less than 20 activities.

The project could be from one of the following categories depending on the type of business a student is involved in:

• an organisational project that a student is involved in as the organisation’s main line of business – to manage projects for your organisation or on behalf of others
• an activity that a student is convinced would benefit from being handled as a project
• an activity in which a student was involved in the past that was not carried out as a project, but one which you believe would have been managed better as a project. If you use this option you should describe how you would execute this activity now using the knowledge gained through this unit.

Note:  You will get maximum benefit from doing this assignment if it is based on real project. However, If you are unable to work on a real project, please discuss with your tutor for suggestions, but the responsibility to choose a project for this assignment is totally yours as a student.

All associated reports to the assessments are to be submitted electronically via your institution’s assessment submission process, as MS Word and PDF document.

Assessment  Part 1 – Charter (1500 words +/-10%)

The Project Charter should explain the background of the organisation where this project will be carried out, the objectives of the project and the importance of this project to the organisation. The Charter include a Business Case, Milestone Schedule, as well as any major problems or anticipated Risks with this project if they are known at this stage.

The maximum word length for this part is 1,500 words excluding words used in any charts, templates, forms or diagrams that you have used to apply the knowledge areas.

The format of the formal assignment will be:

• Sunderland University Cover Sheet (Annex 3)
• Table of contents
• Introduction
• Project Charter using appropriate headings
• Reference list (Harvard referencing style is required)
• Appendix (if any). All forms, charts, tables and diagrams should be included under the relevant sections of the assignment.  The Appendix is NOT graded.
  • NOTE: As this is a piece of academic work, students are required to place descriptive words (with reference) after every heading of the Charter. Failure to do so will result in a reduction of marks for each marking criteria where this is not performed.

The following mark distribution will be used for this part of the assessment in conjunction with the specific requirements as set out above:

Assessment Part 2 – Project Management Plan (PMP )  (3500 words +/- 10%)

For Assignment 2, you are required to submit a Project Management Plan (PMP) report illustrating how the project team will apply the following knowledge areas that have been learned in PGBM48 Project Management.  The PMP needs to address the following areas at a minimum:

• WBS

• WBS
• OBS
• Integration of WBS and OBS
• Network diagram
• Gantt Chart
• Budgeting
• Risk Management
• Project Closure
• Reference list (Harvard referencing style is required)
• Appendix (if any). All forms, charts, tables and diagrams should be included under the relevant sections of the assignment.  The Appendix is NOT graded.
  • NOTE: As this is a piece of academic work, students are required to place descriptive words (with reference) after every heading of the PMP. Failure to do so will result in a reduction of marks for each marking criteria where this is not performed.

Issues in Reporting

In early August of 2010, the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation was proven to have misrepresented or completely hidden test results for approximately 230 cases which involved blood work. It is believed that an internal audit laid the groundwork to establish faulty, unethical procedures by many of their lab analysts. Corrupt law enforcement, attorneys, and judges have been discussed. What, if anything, differentiates the lab analysts? Can such unethical behaviors be prevented?

You need to undertake some archival research in primary sourcesand some contextual research in the digitized newspapers on Trove http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/ or the radio magazines at the State Library.

 

 

Some key histories of radio in Australia (on reserve in the High Use Collection at Baillieu):

Bridget Griffen-Foley, Changing Stations: The Story of Australian Commercial Radio (Sydney: UNSW Press, 2009).

1. S. Inglis and Jan Brazier, This Is the ABC: The Australian Broadcasting Commission,1932-1983 (Melbourne: Melbourne University Press, 1983).

Lesley Johnson, The Unseen Voice: A Cultural Study of Early Australian Radio (London: Routledge, 1988).

Alan Thomas, Broadcast and Be Damned: The ABC’s First Two Decades (Carlton, Vic: Melbourne University Press, 1980).

 

 

Radio broadcasting changed a lot about social, cultural, political, religious, sporting life in Australia. There are some histories written (see below), but many focus more on Sydney than Melbourne. You are free to choose any topic in radio history, if you can locate some archival and contextual material as described above.

 

Interviews could also be with listeners – the history of radio listening is an interesting field. The early radio magazines at SLV will illustrate this theme. See for example this work on American radio listening:

 

Susan J. Douglas, Listening in: Radio and the American Imagination (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 2004) http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/unimelb/detail.action?docID=310845

 

 

Australia has a hybrid broadcasting system – a national public broadcaster (the ABC) since 1932, and a range of commercial and later community stations. From 1924 there were A class stations, supported from listener licence fees, and B class stations, which were funded by sale of on air advertising or private means. In 1928 the federal government took control of technical services of A-class radio stations, providing programs for the Australian Broadcasting Company. In 1932, the Australian Broadcasting Commission was formed, taking over the A class stations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Below are some suggestions for materials. This is by no means exhaustive and if you can locate other archival material and check with your tutor, that is also fine to use – this could include study of more recent radio history.

 

The following references archival collections in the National Archives of Australia (NAA), the University of Melbourne Archives (UMA) and the State Library of Victoria (SLV):

 

UMA, the University of Melbourne Archives http://archives.unimelb.edu.au/ Most of the suggestions below have the call number provided for you. You can also search for other material in the Archives here: http://gallery.its.unimelb.edu.au/imu/imu.php?request=search

The UMA Reading Room is shared with Special Collections and is conveniently located on the 3^rd floor of the Baillieu library. Check hours and how to order material ahead of your visit here: http://library.unimelb.edu.au/readingroom

NAA, the National Archives of Australia http://www.naa.gov.au/ They have a Reading Room at 99 Shiel Street, North Melbourne.You need to irder material ahead and it takes at least 48 hours for them to bring material in from storage facilities to the Redaing Room. You search for and order material in the Record Search screen  https://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/ on their website – you’ll need to create a free account in order to request material. The guide below makes a number of specific suggestions about relevant collections but is by no means exhaustive. You can also therefore search for yourself. I recommend using the advanced Search function, choosing Items as the search goal, and then setting the ‘Location of Items’ entry to Melbourne (there are of course many interesting records in Canberra, Sydney and elsewhere but more difficult for you to access). This is the screen you want to start with:

Radio elections:

Choose any election from 1928 to 1957 and look at the use of radio.

1928 might have been the first federal election in which radio played a significant role.

NAA MP 341/1 1928/7917 Broadcasting Political Speeches, Federal Election 1928. Barcode 349525. Explains the rules – the A class stations (funded by listener licence fees) could broadcast one speech by each party leader while B class stations (the commercial stations)

Trove search: speech broadcast, limited to 1928 = 3239 hits; add limit to Victoria = 438 hits. Think of other searches. Bruce, broadcast [1928] = 2055 hits. Scullin, broadcast [1928] = 347 hits.

Bruce policy speech here: http://electionspeeches.moadoph.gov.au/speeches/1928-stanley-bruce and Scullin here http://electionspeeches.moadoph.gov.au/speeches/1928-james-scullin

‘While government regulations insisted that A-class stations – which were to become part of the ABC in 1932 – show no political preference, on Sydney’s B-class (commercial) stations a propaganda battle raged in the mid- to late 1920s.’Bridget Griffen-Foley, ‘The “Fireside Chat” on Australian Radio’, in Bridget Griffen-Foley and Sean Scalmer (eds.), Public Opinion, Campaign Politics & Media Audiences: New Australian Perspectives (Carlton: Melbourne University Press, 2017), p. .

Also NAA: MP404/1, 1941/8263Radio – Broadcasting. Political. Equal Facilities for all Political Parties. Ban on speeches by Politicians.

 

One topic would be tolerance (or not) of political diversity on radio. See for one small example: ‘Communist Session Wanted’, Shepparton Advertiser 16 Jan., 1945 http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article170425069: ‘“Why has a wireless station ceased to broadcast the Communist country session formerly given by Mr.Dick Blackburn,” was one of themany questions asked at a well-attended meeting at Mooroopna lastnight. It was claimed the session wasan interesting commentary on variousaspects of the news and gave food forthought and discussion whether a person agreed with all the ideas expressed or not.Mr C. P. Walker, who presided, accepted the resolution, “That this meeting write to the station asking for the restoration of the CommunistCountry, Session.” The resolution wascarried unanimously.’

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Community Singing

A search in Trove for ‘community singing’ and radio, limited to Victoria, brings up over 9000 hits. Bernard Harte writes in his book When Radio Was the Cat’s Whiskers (Dural, N.S.W: Rosenberg Publishing, 2002) (p. 102) that ‘community singing did more to promote commercial radio in Australia as an entertainment medium than any other form of programming’.

 

ABC(from 1932)

NAA MP341/1 has details of a controversy about a 1936 talk by adult educator Dr. W.G.K. Duncan on marriage and the family in Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. File includes the script of the talk and letters of complaint. There are many more ABC files at NAA in North Melbourne – do explore for yourself in the online Record Search (advanced search, items search, location Melbourne, exact phrase Australian Broadcasting Commission).

Radio and WWII

Instances of greater federal control over radio during the war can be seen for example in NAA SP 109/3 (file is digitised) about suspension of 3AR and 3KZ for broadcasting in response to the loss of the HMAS Sydney. NAA: MP404/1, 1943/6712 also has 1943 material on breaches of the Broadcasting Act. NAA: MP150/1, 462/201/2252 has material on the ABC broadcasting services for Army, Navy and Air Force during the war.

Dramatising political matters

 

Between April 1947 and the 1949 election, over 200 episodes of the ‘John Henry Austral’ series – advertising for the new Liberal Party –  were broadcast on radio. Stuart Macintyre describes it as ‘the most lavishly funded electoral campaign ever seen in Australia’. Stuart Macintyre, Australia’s Boldest Experiment: War and Reconstruction in the 1940s (Sydney: NewSouth Publishing, 2015).

 

The University of Melbourne archives has digitized the sound recordings of the John Henry Austral collection: UMA John Henry Austral 1989.0137. Read about the discovery of the recordings here: http://newsroom.melbourne.edu/news/n-822 and listen to the recordings here: https://digitised-collections.unimelb.edu.au/handle/11343/38The University of Melbourne Archives holds a number of collections related to the Austral program. They include Federal Executive papers from the period in the Liberal Party of Australia, Victorian Division collection (1972.0032), Federal election material in the Peter Howson collection (1984.0098). In the Liberal Party collection for material on John Henry Austral see: Liberal Party collection, 1972.0032: unit 20 (Federal Directors Correspondence 1946-60), unit 21 (Federal Executive minutes 1946-60), unit 23 (Public relations committee minutes, 1945-49)

– Liberal Party collection, 1985.0148 (U7/8): unit 15 (executive correspondence 1946-47), unit 22 (executive correspondence 1947-48).The UMA also holds collections of material from the Communist Party of Australia and the Australian Labor Party.Search in Trove newspapers on “John Henry Austral” yields 4410 hits.

 

In response, the federal Labor government amended the Australian Broadcasting Act in 1948 to specifically forbid ‘dramatisation of any political matter which is then current or was current at any time during the last five preceding years’.

NAA BP/5/2/part 1 contains correspondence on the administration of the law, including the John Henry Austral case with scripts of the program and correspondence about it.

NAA: M3299, 89 has material on John Henry Austral series.

 

Stephen Mills tells the story of this Liberal Party advertising series here: http://insidestory.org.au/dick-caseys-forgotten-people See also his book: Stephen Mills, The Professionals: Strategy, Money and the Rise of the Political Campaigner in Australia (Melbourne: Schwartz Publishing, 2014) available as ebook through the library: http://cat.lib.unimelb.edu.au:80/record=b6236879~S30 See also: Ian Ward, ‘The Early Use of Radio for Political Communication in Australia and Canada: John Henry Austral, Mr Sage and the Man from Mars’, Australian Journal of Politics & History 45, no. 3 (September 1999): 311-330.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Postwar:

Australian Content: The Hume Dow papers have interesting material on efforts of Australian writers to avoid loss of income through low payment for writing for network broadcasting and syndication of international material (including American comics) in the press after the war. This chapter tells the story of concern about use of American radio soap opera scripts in Australia and provides some context: David Goodman and Susan Smulyan, ‘Portia Faces the World: Rewriting and Revoicing American Radio for an International Market’, in Michele Hilmes and Jason Loviglio (eds.), Radio’s New Wave: Audio in the Digital Era (New York: Routledge, 2013), pp. 163-179http://cat.lib.unimelb.edu.au:80/record=b6140383~S30. UMA has the papers of the Victorian Division of Actors Equity of Australia A.1984.0044 and you can see from the finding aid that parts relate to campaigns for local or Australian content on radio: http://gallery.its.unimelb.edu.au/imu/imu.php?request=multimedia&irn=5473
