A four-session high school unit on the rights that protect a young adult the first time they buy something big on their own — taught so you do not need to know any consumer law to run it.
Wren Novak just turned 18. In one month she buys a used car, a laptop, and signs up for a “free” trial. Every one of them goes wrong. Your student works out which warranty applies, whether the store has to take the laptop back, how to dispute the charge the trial keeps making, and what a debt collector may and may not do — then writes a real dispute letter.
Each reading states its rule before the case that tests it, so the page does the teaching.
