Finding a Complaint...

For next week's mini-project, the goal is to obtain a complaint from a state (or federal) agency that licenses the members of a profession. You can usually find these bodies in the Secretary of State's office, or the Attorney General's office in your state.

For example, click here http://www.state.nj.us/lps/ca/medical.htm for the New Jersey's Division of Consumer Affairs' list of medical-related licensing organizations and boards.

Your next step is to contact that board and try and obtain a recent complaint (or ruling) and write a short story about it, as described in the syllabus.

If you'd like to take another path, contact a friend or acquaintance who has brought a complaint against a business or person through one of these agencies. You can write the story based on their experience.

Good luck! Post here or email me if you have questions or problems.
