Supreme court. jim, who is a bit eccentric, says that he is fed up with the way a certain employer in his town treats employees and that he is going to sue that employer in an effort to improve matters. jim also says that he is going to start his case at the appellate court level, skipping over all those "lesser" judges. jim says that those justices will surely hear him out and that he will also seek a jury. although he is not a lawyer, jim believes that the offenses of the employer are so severe that the justices will appreciate his attempt to make things better for the employees involved. regardless of what court is involved, can jim act as plaintiff for the employees?

a. yes, so long as he gets permission slips from them.

b. yes, so long as he gives any money he receives to them.

c. no, because venue is lacking.

d. yes, so long as they file no objection.
