Your recommendation in the policy brief you presented, in Topic 5, has been accepted by the committee, taken through the legislative process, and is now ready for implementation. Create an action plan for implementation. Once you have your ideas outlined you will prepare an implementation presentation for the legislator to communicate to all stakeholders. Your 10-15 slide presentation should include:

  • Any stakeholders (any individual or group that would be impacted by the policy)
  • Required resources and who provides them (what is needed to implement the policy)
  • Challenges that might be encountered
  • Time Frame (time frame should be reasonable)
  • Evaluation processes ( how will you ensure the policy is effective)
  • Summarize how agencies, personnel, and public involved in the implementation of the policy will be impacted. Include a description of the considerations needed for seamless implementation of the policy for all stakeholders.

Use three to five scholarly resources to support your explanations.

Include speaker notes below each content-related slide that represent what would be said if giving the presentation in person. Expand upon the information included in the slide and do not simply restate it. Please ensure the speaker notes include 50-75 words per slide.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, including an APA formatted reference slide, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Pending Supreme Court Case Summary
The assignment examines pending cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, that is, cases that will be argued (or have been argued) and eventually decided during the High Court’s current session (2020 to 2021). A final ruling is pending. With respect to the assignment, please select one case from the list of pending cases and answer the four questions below using the majority opinion from the last court that reviewed the case (the last appellate court that reviewed the case is listed alongside the name of the case). The majority opinion for the case (from a lower court) can be found on www.scotusblog.com or by searching the specific appellate court’s Website (or using Google).
Please select one case:
Albence v. Guzman Chavez, United States Court of Appeals for
the Fourth Circuit
Edwards v. Vannoy, United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit –Jones v. Mississippi, Supreme Court of Mississippi
Lange v. California, California State Appellate Court
Torres v. Madrid, United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit
Please address the following four questions:
1. What are the facts of the case?
2. Where did the case originate, which appellate courts have reviewed the case, and what was each of those appellate bodies’ ruling?
3. What are the legal questions associated with the case?
4. What do you predict the U.S. Supreme Court will rule on the case?
In reference to paper mechanics, the paper should be exactly two and a half pages in length, be double-spaced, use Times New Roman, twelve-inch font, have one-inch margins, and include a cover page. Assignment headings, such as the student’s name, date, and course name, should appear on a separate page (not within the two and half page paper requirement). In addition, enlarged headings or margins or extra spacing between lines or paragraphs are not included in the page requirement. Please do not use any direct quotes in the paper, as papers with direct quotes will not be graded. Be cautious of relying exclusively on Websites with banks of cases that have already been briefed or outlined. This has been an issue in the past. Papers that strongly reflect writing posted online (e.g., quotes or exact statements) will be suspect of academic misconduct, and will be reported to the UTEP Office of Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution. That is, do not copy and paste statements from court opinions or case briefs that are posted on legal Websites or blogs. The paper is due as an electronic copy on the Blackboard assignment submission link by Monday, November 9th.

DQ#2 According to Lichtman (2011), “The Federal Government requires each nursing home facility to have a governing body, or designated persons functioning as a governing body” (para. 1). The governing body of a nursing home setting may be referred to as the board of directors, board of trustees, or “the board” (Singh, 2016, p. 332). Although it is necessary for both the board and the nursing home administrator (NHA) to have a good working relationship, they both serve their purpose for different responsibilities, and if there is lack of communication from either side, organizational functions, care quality, and employee morale will suffer as a result. The board functions include appointing a NHA, reviewing his or her performance, assisting the NHA in establishing goals and objectives that are in-line with the organization’s mission and vision, ensuring facility’s compliance, and establishing guidelines and support for the NHA, as well as policies to protect patient rights (Singh, 2016, p. 333). According to Singh (2016), “The NHA acts as the agent of the board and is responsible for the day-to-day management of the nursing facility” (p. 334). In other words, the NHA manages the business, employees, and represents the organization in the community. Because the board depends on the NHA to carry out tasks, and the NHA depends on the board for support and guidance, it is critical for the relationship to be positive with good interaction and communication.
