Systems Analysis

You are currently working as a freelance systems designer and have been asked to do some of the design work for a case-tracking information system that is being developed for a local law firm that specializes in civil cases. The business objective is to implement a system that tracks a civil case from the time that the law firm begins working on the lawsuit through its final adjudication.

Examine the system from the object-oriented analysis perspective you explored in Chapter 10. Consider some of the main objects and

classes you would expect to find in a law firm that specializes in civil filings and respond to the following:

Describe each of these classes, including their name and attributes using Figure 10-2 as an example.

Describe any generalization/specialization relationships, using Figure 10-4 as an example.

Identify the object/class associations, and create an object/class association table, using Figure 10-5 as an example. Make sure to include the multiplicity for each association.

Identify the aggregation relationships, and prepare an aggregation relationship table, using Figure 10-6 as an example.
