We the legal team of Greene’s Jewelry have the opportunity to evaluate all the necessary details of the case and overlooked what the strengths and weaknesses of our argument would be presented to the Court. To assist our argument we have decided to utilize the regulations, substantive laws and case laws. The case precedents will provide multiple directions for the arguments to be assessed in the Court. Greene’s Jewelry is more likely to receive a favorable judgment by applying these resources in the claim against Ms. Lawson. After numerous evaluations and examinations, we the legal team has assess the elements of the case and concluded that the primary reason of the lawsuit against Ms. Lawson is due to her breach of the non-disclosure agreement. The demeanor in which Ms. Lawson violated her contract depicts her true intention in her activities. Ms. Lawson’s behavior led to an interruption in Greene’s Jewelry daily business operation process. With Greene’s biggest competitor, Howell acquiring confidential information from Ms. Lawson on their secret trade process of Ever-Gold makes it a criminal offense. The State of New Hampshire has established laws to “protect private and public bodies from misappropriation of secret trades; these are laws that copy the Federal Uniform Trade Secrets Act” (Stim, 2016). There is a patent on the information shared by Ms. Lawson, which contain the secret trade process of Ever-Gold. By providing Howell’s with the stolen patent information makes
The definition of a lawsuit is a civil action brought in court in which a plaintiff demands another person, known as the defendant, pay this person equitable resolve (dictionary.com). In other words they want payment for being wronged in the past. If the case is found to be legitimate and proven justifiable, the defendant pays the plaintiff the awarded compensation. This brings us to the story, The Lawsuit, by Naguib Mahfouz. This tale is about a son being sued by his father’s widow demanding maintenance be paid to her some twenty years after the father’s death. Several of the individuals in this story serve very little purpose.
In paper, Greene’s Jewelry has a strong case against Jennifer Lawson because Jennifer breached the confidentiality agreements that she signed with Greene’s Jewelry. In the agreement, it specifically indicated that Jennifer could never disclose any information regarding “Ever-Gold” creating process, which is patented and owned by Greene’s Jewelry. Jennifer not only stole a draft letter that contains the details of creating Ever-Gold but also took it to Greene’s competitor Howell Jewelry World in order to obtain a job offer from the company. The employment contract that Jennifer signed with Howell is a certain evidence of her unjust enrichment. Regarding Jennifer Lawson’s claim that she encountered wrongful termination at Greene’s, it is simply a misinterpretation of Greene’s legitimate reduction in force. The company no longer had a need for any junior executive secretaries. The downsizing was unfortunately but legal.

In the short story, "The Jewelry", written by Guy de Maupassant, there is an eventual ironic twist that ends up enhances the main character's characterization. The plot is that a young woman, whom is adored by many, is married to a clerk, who earns a modest salary each year. Together the Lantins live quite happily, despite their financial situation seems to lack the ability to provide a lavish lifestyle. However, Mrs. Lantin has a trick; she dresses up her dull clothes with "fake" jewelry that could fool anyone into thinking they were pure gems. Later in the story, Mrs. Lantin dies, leaving Mr. Lantin in a struggle to stay afloat. In an effort to scrap up some extra cash, the man goes to jewelry stores and asks for the necklaces to be appraised. Controlled by utter shock of how much the jewels are worth, Mr. Latin starts living the lavish lifestyle he's always wanted, spending money carelessly. This eventually attracts his second wife: a woman who makes him miserable. "The Jewelry"'s events show that Monsieur Lantin is characterized as a round, and dynamic character, who shows traits through indirect characterization.
Maupassant effectively portrays a marriage that is misunderstood through manipulation, distrust, and deception. He does this by describing each individual, the couple in relation to one another, as well as their lifestyle.
