Read, synthesize, and relate actual court cases involving public organizations with literary and theoretical concepts concerning human resource management in public administration. For this assignment, you will need to apply information and concepts contained within the assigned text. This assignment will require you to analyze a case of your selection centering on the law and public employees.
The case I have chosen is Nixon v. Fitzgerald
The first part of the assignment will require you to provide a synopsis of the case selected, including pertinent information regarding the characters involved (managers, employees, organizations, etc.), the legal issue at the core of the case, and a description of the ruling of the court hearing the case. Following the case synopsis, you will need to introduce and explain how the assigned course readings (which you may select at will) relate to the case and the potential implications for public personnel management inherent in the selected case. This can be accomplished by outlining and addressing several questions relating the case to the assigned readings for the course. Additionally, you are welcome (as well as encouraged) to incorporate additional resources outside of the assigned readings if you believe they align with the core issues involved in the legal case selected.
The Legal Case Analysis assignment should be between 6-8 full pages, using proper APA format for in-text citations and references as outlined above
