Answers to the following 3 questions based on a related fact pattern: Question # 1 Pastor Forester claims his firing was illegal because it was based on his being a convicted felon. His contract with the school provides him with defense coverage for any acts he takes while working for the school. Anna and Lisa sue Pastor Forester and the school for sexual harassment and discrimination, and Pastor Forester requests the school pay for his defense. Discuss whether Anna and Lisa will be successful in their claim of sexual harassment and discrimination against the school and Pastor Forester. Discuss whether the school illegally fired Pastor Forester. Will the school have to pay for the pastor's defense? Analyze and defend your answer. Question#2 It was actually in the discovery portion of the injury lawsuit that Pastor Forester's true background came to light. The convict, Birches, claims the knowledge of his aunt should be imputed to the entire board of directors. Three parents have alleged that their children are now seeing therapists due to abusive comments Birches made to them at various times during his time in the school. The board immediately convenes and discusses 'damage control.” The board knows you took a law and ethics course recently and asks you to write it a memo of what liability it has in this case. List the elements of any tort you believe the school may be liable for and what defenses you may have. Include in your memo whether Aunt Theresa's knowledge will be imputed to the entire board. If so, under what statute, rule, case, or federal law do you base your decision? Question# 3 Anna and Lisa both sue the school and Pastor Forester for discrimination and, further, for liability for their injuries (the stabbing damages and the damages to Lisa's son's health). You are on the board of directors and need to analyze the liability of the school. Limit your answer to the school's liability only. Write a brief memo as to whether Pastor Forester committed illegal or discriminatory practices in his brief tenure described in this situation. Then, analyze the potential liability of the school. Discuss agency liability, as well as any employment law aspects. Explain whether you feel that the two injured teachers have cases for recovery against the school. Discuss whether the school being a religious, private school has any bearing on or provides protection from liability. Include all defenses available to the school.
