This assignment is based on the following scenario:John Jones is the father of a ten-year-old boy, Jimmy, who plays on a park district hockey team. Jones has served as an assistant coach this year for the team. Neither the coach nor Jones receives any pay for their work with the team; it is entirely on a volunteer basis. The Mustangs, as the team is known, were playing the Colts in a match one afternoon at the park district ice rink. During the game, Jimmy was chasing down the puck, lost his footing, fell and tripped an opposing player as he went down. Andy, the opposing player, got up and smacked Jimmy with his hockey stick. John yelled at Andy, and yelled at the referee to do something about the boy’s conduct. Andy was sent to the penalty box. Andy’s father Alan came out of the stands and punched John in the face. John wants to sue Alan, Andy, and the park district, so he comes to the law office where you work to discuss the matter. Over the course of the class you will analyze and prepare this case for trial.
