Apatient properly sued her doctor in federal court for medical malpractice. at trial, the doctor's attorney called four well-known experts in the field who uniformly agreed that the doctor acted within the normal standard of care in treating the patient. the patient's attorney called only one young and inexperienced expert who opined that the doctor did not act within the normal standard of care; however, he contradicted himself on the stand and could not answer certain simple questions. during the trial, no motions were made by the doctor's attorney. surprisingly, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the patient, and the doctor's attorney filed a renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law 22 days after the judgment was entered. will the court grant the motion? a yes, because the judgment was based on a verdict that a reasonable jury would not have had a legally sufficient basis to reach. b yes, because there was no genuine dispute of material fact and the moving party was entitled to judgment as a matter of law. c no, because the doctor did not move for a judgment as a matter of law during the trial. d no, because a renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law must be filed within 21 days after the judgment is entered.

the correct answer is C. No, because the doctor did not move for a judment as a matter of law during the trial.

Explanation:

The court should not grant the motion. A judgment in spite of the verdict is now called a renewed motion for a judgment as a matter of law. To be valid, the party making the renewed motion must have moved for judgment as a matter of law at some time during the trial. Here, the doctor never moved for a judgment as a matter of law during the trial. Therefore, his motion for a renewed judgment as a matter of law will be denied.

in the united states a public policy is an agreed upon way that our federal, state, or local government fulfills its responsibilities, such as protecting the rights of individuals and promoting the welfare of all the people. some public policies are written into laws by legislatures. other policies are contained in rules and regulations created by executive branches of government, the branches responsible for carrying out and enforcing laws.

the following are examples of public policies and the governmental agencies responsible for carrying them out.

school districts are responsible for making policies regarding student behavior and discipline. teachers and school administrators enforce these policies. state legislatures are responsible for making laws that place speed limits on drivers. police officers enforce these laws. city governments often adopt policies that prohibit people from operating liquor stores near public schools. city inspectors and zoning departments enforce these policies.

when people become aware of problems in their communities, they often want government to develop and carry out policies to deal with those problems. these may be problems for which there are

existing policies or laws that do not work well,

existing policies or laws that are not being enforced,

no policies or laws.

as a citizen of the united states you have a right to say what you think government should do about problems in your community. you also have a right to say what you think about problems in your state, the nation, and about international problems. you have the right to try to influence the decisions people in your government make about all of those problems.

to be able to participate effectively, however, citizens need to know which levels of government and which governmental agencies are responsible for changing, enforcing, or developing a specific public policy. for example, state legislatures may direct agencies to enact policies resulting from federal legislation. or, local governments may create policies in order to carry out responsibilities assigned to them through laws enacted at the state or federal level. additionally, as part of the process of developing and implementing policy, governmental agencies must determine if the new policy conflicts with existing legislation or policy.

this project is intended to you learn how to express your opinions, how to decide which level of government and which agency is most appropriate for dealing with the problem you identify, and how to influence policy decisions at that level of government. it calls for you to work cooperatively with others in your class and, with the of your teacher and adult volunteers, to accomplish the following tas
