Essay

Assume that you have just opened the morning mail and received a copy of a complaint alleging a cause of action against Mr. Holton, who is represented by your firm. His file number is 92-1000. You know that you have 20 days, starting tomorrow, to file an answer and that it is your job to draft an answer for your supervising attorney's review. You have received the complaint on September 5. Making up the names you need, prepare the following deadline control slip so the document will be ready to mail on the 20th day. Ignore the fact that some days may be weekend days for purposes of this assignment only. Assume it will take a half day to research and draft the answer, one hour for the attorney to review it, a half hour for you to make revisions, and a half hour for the secretary to type it and have it ready for mailing. Complete all sections of the slip.
