You will find in the upload below a format of an intake memo to your supervising attorney on page 27. Please use it to create your assignment. Also, make sure you actually make a list of questions you would ask Mike. You can do it on a separate page apart from your memorandum, or you can incorporate it into your memorandum. Make sure you don’t forget to list them, because they are worth 15 points. DO NOT ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.
Mike Martin is driving a 2010 Volvo north on Interstate 55 in your state. He slows down to avoid some debris on the roadway and is rear-ended by Jennie Armstrong who is traveling at 80 miles per hour. His car is totaled; he suffered from facial cuts and a broken right arm, and lost time from his job as a nurse.
