1. 1. Patrick McCullough is a member of the Sinn Fein political
party of Northern Ireland. Duly elected to his position in the
current government, Patrick was previously a member of the
Real IRA, and was rumoured to have been involved in numerous
terrorist attacks conducted by the organization in the 1980’s.
One of these attacks include the bombing of Harrod’s in central
London. When the Easter Accords were signed, Patrick and his
fellow comrades were pardoned for their prior acts with regard
to their criminal behavior. At present Patrick has been deemed
to work well with his former enemies and has begun to travel to
countries to which he was previously barred.
During one of these trips abroad, Patrick travels to Colombia
where he once served as a trainer for the FARC. Patrick had
been involved in a weapons/ drug/ training exchange that
shipped cocaine to Western Europe, allowed the IRA to
purchase weapons from the South American group and served as
an exchange/ training of ideas in guerrilla tactics. Whilst in
Colombia, Patrick seeks out his former friends for a reunion of
sorts.
The reunion once again focuses on mutually beneficial trade
between Northern Ireland and certain regions of Colombia,
specifically amongst the FARC group. During the trip Patrick –
on behalf of Sinn Fein – accept gifts in lieu of cash, and
promises assurances of support for FARCS political ambitions.
Further, he is recorded giving lectures to FARC leader on how
the IRA was ultimately successful in bringing the UK
government to “it’s knees”and winning power.
Whilst preparing to leave Bogota, Patrick is detained by the
Colombian authorities and charged with a) terrorism, b) drug
trafficking c) weapons trafficking and d) the murder of 19
politicians in Colombia.
Has Patrick committed a terrorist action? If yes, how and why?
If no – why not?
Can Patrick be charged with the weapons and narcotics

2. trafficking? Is there a Statute of Limitations?
2. Tre Boudia owns vineyards in California. His family is world
reknowned for the quality of their wine, and the coming year
looks excellent for production. In the past Boudia wines has
relied on a guest worker program to enable to insure the grapes
are picked in a timely manner, and the 400-600 workers who are
brought in during the peak load have always returned to their
home countries without incident. Mr. Boudia insures that
everyone is reimbursed for travel expenses, and he provides
housing and food whilst they are on the properties for the 6
month work period. Recent changes in the law, however, have
required Mr. Boudia to hire only U.S. workers. He will not be
able to utilize foreign workers for a 3 year period, and the
decision has come just months before the harvest. Mr. Boudia
advertises in the local papers, then the statewide websites, and
ultimately nationally to attract farmworkers.
With 3 weeks to go before the season begins Mr. Boudia has
only been able to hire 74 workers. Looking at the potential of
losses in the millions, Mr. Boudia seeks out his foreman for
solutions. They phone their prior workers and ask them to return
to work as soon as possible, assuring them that their paperwork
is perfectly fine. Ultimately Mr. Boudia sends his private plane
to retrieve the workers, bringing them in quickly and
luxuriously. The harvest goes off without a problem, the
workers are sent home via bus with the promise of their normal
checks to arrive in a few months, and everyone is happy. The
issue, however, comes when the checks are to be issued: as the
individuals were not here with authorization they accountant
cannot issue checks. Mr. Boudia notifies the workers that they
will be paid in cash – however they will need to come back to
the United States to receive the money. Unfortunately each
worker is denied entry at the border for having both a) entered
and b) worked in the United States without authorization.
What are the issues of the above scenario? What are the rights
of the workers? What are the rights of Mr. Boudia? Were the
workers trafficked? If so, what recourse do they have? What are

3. the consequences for Mr. Boudia?
3. Mariam Smith has recently become the manager of the finest
restaurant in town – Le Petit Louisianne. Mariam worked
diligently from the time she was 17 when she began as a
hostess, then as a waitress, and now as the manager overseeing
22 staff members. The owners of the restaurant are a group of
investors, and come to dine only once a month. At that time
they personally review the finances with their accountant.
Mariam is proud of how well the restaurant has been doing
under her management, as they are always fully booked – and
even have a waitlist for tables up to 2 weeks. They’ve been
reviewed favorably by the local paper and on national websites,
and the nightly deposits Mariam has been placing in the
dropbox to the safe have been averaging $15-$17 thousand.
Credit card receipts amount to almost double this amount, but
those funds go directly to the bank, and the cash deposits are
collected by the accountant. At no time does Mariam seek to
open the safe to count the cash therein, as she prides herself on
being trustworthy to the owners.
Needless to say Mariam is surprised one morning to arrive at
the restaurant to discover the police waiting for her at the door.
Upon reviewing the warrant, she opens the safe for review – but
is puzzled as to why they are interested in the receipts. In the
safe is over $900K in cash in various denominations – from
dollars to British Sterling, Euro’s to Yen. When asked who has
access to the safe, Mariam confirms it is only herself and the
accountant.
What crimes, if any, have occurred? Who can be charged? What
are the violations? What are the consequences?
4. Esmeralda Mykos collects bottles, metal and plastic from
anywhere she can find it. A strict conservationist, Esmeralda
seeks to recycle anything and everything she can in order to do
her part in saving the planet – and her collections are donated to
a small recycling center on the outskirts of the city. The owners
of this center have noticed Esmeralda’s collection is unique at

4. times, as a small portion of the containers dropped off have
government markings.
In processing the donations, there are materials discovered in
three of the containers that not only glow – but emit a strong
smell. As the center is inspected quite often, they must take care
in the disposal and processing of any hazardous waste –
however they must first identify what the substance is. As such
they contact the local government agency to insure they cover
their bases.
Upon testing, the substances in the containers range from
nuclear waste to biological contaminants – all of which are
considered highly toxic and are prohibited from private use. The
officials immediately shut down the recycling center and seek a
warrant for the arrest of Esmeralda. Esmeralda, it turns out, is
known on certain websites as a rogue bio-chemist who has
sought to “re-set” the earth’s population by any means
necessary.
Have crimes occurred though? If yes, what crimes have
occurred? Who may be liable? Is a donation trafficking? Can the
Center be charged with liability for not reporting the suspect
donations earlier? What can Esmeralda be charged with?
