From:       Isadora Pearlman
Subject:     Research
Completion Date: Three days from today

Task:       Prepare a short memorandum on the state and constitutional          law on this subject.
Guidelines:    Check the annotated state statutes under “long-arm statutes,”          “foreign corporations,” and “non-resident tortfeasors” for             case law. Also try the state digest under similar key             phrases. Since the state’s long-arm statute affects both our            federal and state court, decisions in both jurisdictions are            helpful. See the section on researching and drafting a             memorandum of law in Chapter 6.
