  5. Tip: Write It Down and Play It Back Write down the assignment and “replay” to the requestor. Check back in to confirm that you are on track. Make sure that “the ball hasn’t moved.”

  6. Tip: Be A Skeptic Maintain a certain skepticism about the facts the participants relate. Understand that the facts as well as the law may be disputed. What you are told are the “facts” need to be verified, and possibly proven in court.

  7. WHERE: LEVELS OF LEGAL AUTHORITY Think about what type of law governs the facts.

  8. The Pawnee Buttes Grasslands are near Greeley, Colorado. The Grasslands are home to whooping cranes. A camper there has been bothered by the cranes, and she has been heard yelling, “the next whooping crane I see, I am going to blow that bird out of the sky,” while she brandishes a fully automatic AK-47, which she brought back from her deployment as a United States soldier during the first Iraq war. How many types of law might be implicated in this problem?

  9. WHY? Am I doing this? What are my objectives and the results I am looking for?
