Question Description
Please complete the IRAC assignment below. Upload your response in a word document before Friday. You will be assigned a student to peer review on Saturday morning. If you have not turned in your IRAC you will miss the peer review. Please complete the peer review as instructed. Your review should comment on the student’s response to the IRAC analysis. Did the student identify each of the elements? Issue, Rule, Application and Conclusion? What grade would you give the student? Assume 1 point for each of the 4 elements and 1 point for overall structure, grammar and clarity. Peer reviews should be completed by the following Tuesday. For this assignment the grade is up to 5 points for your own IRAC and up to 5 for your peer review, for a total of possibly 10 points. Please note that whatever grade you assign your peer is not determinative. This is mostly an exercise for you to learn from each other. All grading is the responsibility of the professor.
Chick-fil-A, a popular fast food restaurant chain, has publicly declared its support for traditional marriage between a man and a woman since 2012. Although they had a period of making corporate donations to nonprofit Christian organizations that advocate the same position, since 2015 they ceased making donations to any organization that promotes discrimination against same sex couples or people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. However, since the election of Donald Trump as president of the U.S., several members of the executive management team have been meeting to discuss a plan for financial support over the next four years for political candidates who support a more conservative political agenda, notably; pro-life/ anti-choice with respect to abortion rights; diminished options in corporate health care plans for reproductive choice, including the birth control pill; expansion of gun rights; and enforcement of border patrol and implementation of stricter immigration policies. A consumer group has received information about this proposed financial plan and wants to sue Chick-fil-A to prevent the company from supporting any such political candidates. The group seeks your advice on the legitimacy and efficacy of a lawsuit. Advise them of their likely or unlikely success. Use the IRAC method to support your recommendation
