Legal Storyline Mural Project

 Legal Storyline: Draw a mural that represents the chain of events in this story. The mural must highlight the legal terminology involved in the case. There should be at least one picture frame for every legal concept defined.  Every day you ride a bicycle to school and work, using the city’s bicycle paths. You are on your daily ride to school when a car negligently pulls out in front of you. Unable to stop, you crash your bicycle into the car and injure yourself. Illustrate the chain of events and indicate if you should be able to recover damages for the harm done to you. The driver of the car becomes abusive towards you after your recovery. The driver follows your bicycle very closely and yells threats at you. Your mural should utilize and define the legal terms we have studied so far.   Grading Guidelines for Mural Project:
