Read the instruction below carefully and answer the question
Q: I have been asked to present a CLE for New York attorneys. The CLE will cover the issue of vicarious liability/respondeat superior. I want to provide a handout that attendees can reference later. I need your assistance with the handout. In 1,000 words or less, your handout should provide concise information for New York litigation attorneys.
Your handout should include useful headings and may include bullet points if bullet points are an effective way to communicate the information specified above.
Your research and handout should address the following:
1. What is the general doctrine of vicarious liability/respondeat superior?
2. Why is the distinction between an employee and an independent contractor important?
3. Outline relevant factors to be considered when determining whether someone is an independent contractor.
You should start with free resources (e.g., Google, Bing, Yahoo search engines) and then continue your research on Lexis or Westlaw.
