Evaluation of Eleanor Santos' Engagement Ring Ownership, and Libel & Slander Case

"Dear Eleanor Santos,

You have contacted Panther Law regarding a legal dispute with Mr. Bradley Bartlett. Thank you for getting in touch with us. With respect to your case, we would like to give you our legal opinion after carefully reviewing the details.

We were asked to consider representing you in your libel and slander suit against your former fiancé, Brad Bartlett. Furthermore, you have entrusted us with researching your engagement ring's legalities and ownership rights. After careful consideration and extensive review of case law, we believe our representation will bring justice to your libel and slander case. Brad Bartlett cannot satisfy all the elements of a defamation claim if the court finds that he has a cause of action for defamation. In addition, you also exercised your First Amendment rights by uploading the video. By virtue of the United States Constitution, the court may not interfere with your First Amendment rights.

In contrast, in terms to your ownership rights over the engagement ring, the court will ultimately side with Mr. Bartlett. Due to Florida law, the engagement ring falls under the category of a conditional gift. It is likely he was still owning the ring after you and Mr. Bartlett were not legally married. According to the law, Mr. Bartlett owns the ring.

In the event that you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you."

Reflection:

Consider whether or not you are convinced of our potential client's guilt or innocence. Did this play a role in your decision to take the case? Why or why not? Do you have qualms about representing a client you believe to be guilty? Who are the key stakeholders here, and what are their unique perspectives? What about your interests as the representing attorney? Did you make a choice based upon your own convenience, interests, or time-constraints? Finally, explore and analyze the ambiguities in your decision-making process. Where do the lines blur?
