Project: Create a Business Dispute and Resolve It
Assignment Directions:
In an essay of at least 500 words, create a scenario in which a business dispute takes place, then resolve it in two ways: (a) first, through small-claims court and (b) second, through settlement. The results can differ in both cases.

Don't rush through your scenario. Provide details of the parties, the history of their relationship (if applicable), how the dispute began and what it is over, and so on. Remember: details can be crucial when a judge makes his or her decision. When deciding on which small-claims court the plaintiff will file a claim in, make sure you mention which state, the maximum amount that you can request, and how the matter is resolved. Be sure to cite any Web sites referred to.
