    The document discusses the IRAC formula and how to analyze cases to answer legal questions. It explains that the "R" in IRAC represents the relevant rule from a case like Lester v. Albers Super Markets, Inc. regarding false imprisonment. The document then analyzes two scenarios - one where a woman voluntarily submitted to a security check, and one where a man was physically forced and detained - and determines whether they constitute false imprisonment based on the rules and reasoning from Lester v. Albers Super Markets, Inc.

    FROM: 
    RE:  IRAC Formula and Case Analysis to Answer Legal Questions
    DATE:  
    Part I.  IRAC Formula
    A. Lester v. Albers Super Markets, Inc. represents R in IRAC
    B. R represents the Rule which is relevant to the issue in a case.
    C. Lester v. Albers Super Markets, Inc. was an appellate case that set a mandatory precedent for
    the case that meets the rule in the future regarding false imprisonment and even more specifically
    false imprisonment as it relates to retail stores. The cases below are similar in issue, therefore,
    Lester v. Albers Super Markets, Inc. would be an applicable rule of law.
    Part II.  Case Analysis to Answer Legal Questions
    A. The scenario does not involve false imprisonment. As clearly discussed in the case of Lester
    v. Albers Super Markets Inc., submission to the mere verbal direction of another, unaccompanied
    by force or by threats of any character, cannot constitute false imprisonment. The court used the
    qualifying phrase "against the will" and it is asserted that any restraint of one private person by
    another is unlawful or illegal. Here, there was no force or threat of any character when Ms.
    Jennings was called upon by the security guard. She voluntarily submitted herself and let the
    security guard search her small purse. Hence, based on the circumstances, there was no false
    imprisonment that happened.
    B. The scenario involves false imprisonment. As clearly discussed in the case of Lester v. Albers
    Super Markets Inc., submission to the mere verbal direction of another, unaccompanied by force
    or by threats of any character, cannot constitute false imprisonment. The court used the
    qualifying phrase "against the will" and it is asserted that any restraint of one private person by
    another is unlawful or illegal. Here, there was a force when the security guard pushed Mr. Johns
    toward the security office. He was locked up inside for 35 minutes. When it was found out that
    the cans were different from what the store was selling, he released Mr. Johns. All these
    circumstances constituted false imprisonment and Mr. Johns could sue Super Stores based on
    that ground.
