You work as R&D Group Manager at a US-based business applications company. It produces products that are sought after by small to medium sized businesses in the USA because the software allows them to compete on level footing with major multinational corporations.
Company CEO Mary Murphy has just returned from a relaxing and much needed vacation to Asia where she visited Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore, Hong Kong and mainland China. She noticed a lot of growth and change happening there and wonders whether the company has done too little to enter and build market share there. So she’s asked you to look into it and present your findings and recommendations to her decision-making team.
Learning project
Purpose: The major aim of the first learning project is to provide students an opportunity to apply their knowledge of hearsay exceptions relevant to cases involving allegations of child sexual abuse.
There are two parts to the project:
You will choose one of the three hearsay exceptions that are relevant to cases involving allegations of child sexual abuse. Next, you will write a vignette (i.e., short story, scenario) that illustrates an abuse disclosure that fits the exception. Details related to the context of the disclosure and statements made will help you with part two of the project (~1 double-spaced).
Explain the rationale for the hearsay exception you chose (i.e., if a statement meets the exception why is it considered more reliable than not?) Next, you will evaluate the degree to which the disclosure in your vignette meets the hearsay exception. For example, if you choose the excited utterance exception, you’ll consider the disclosure context and statements described in your scenario against the list of factors a judge uses to determine if statements meet that requirement. You should use course readings to support your response (Meyers, 2011 should be most helpful). (~2 pages double-spaced)
