File Suit

After reading the proposed case study I would recommend that Frederick first seeks another lawyer and then starts the process of filing a lawsuit again the professors. I would first recommend Frederick to find another lawyer to represent him in the lawsuit. I say this because as a Christian filing a claim like this I would want someone to represent me that has similar morals and the “scorned earth, take no prisoners” lawyer isn’t the type I would want to work with. I would recommend Frederick finds a lawyer who would be more interested in helping him receive the credit that he deserves so the idea that he came up with is his and he is free to do what he wishes with the idea. Opposed to having a lawyer represent him that is “out for blood.” Once he seeks a lawyer that he feels will stand for what he believes in and wishes to accomplish through the lawsuit I completely agree that he should file a claim. We as Christians we are taught to love one another like John teaches in John 13:34 “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.” Although we are taught to love one another and be Christ like to others I also know there is scripture that speaks of justice and respect for one another. For example a common verse I think of immediately would be Exodus 20:15 “Thou shall not steal,” which is the eighth commandment. This could be a contradicting argument because technically Frederick did not have a copy right on the idea, however the professors clearly stole his idea. I also would recommend when he consults a new lawyer to seek his/her opinion on this matter, perhaps there is a possibility because there was not a copy right yet, that a law suit is not a good course of action. As long as Frederick prays about the situation and follows what he believes the Lord is calling him to do with the situation I believe he will do it correctly.
