An MPT asks for the discussion section of an objective memorandum analyzing whether a store owed a duty to protect a customer from a third-party assault. The Library includes a statute and three cases. One case lists foreseeability factors, one applies those factors to repeated prior incidents, and one finds no duty where the prior events were too different. The File includes two prior parking-lot thefts, one threatening phone call to the store, and the assault at issue.
A student plans to write one paragraph for each case, ending each paragraph with "This case may help or hurt." The student will then add a final paragraph saying the store "could be liable."
How should the student structure the discussion instead? Discuss rule synthesis, factor-based organization, use of case comparisons, and objective prediction.
