Throughout the semester, students will be required to read, analyze, and draft case briefs. These will be based on mostly US Supreme Court cases and deal with issues pertaining to subject matter from the textbook. Full or edited case opinions will be provided. Case briefs tend to follow a similar framework (as seen below in the template provided). Please focus on the constitutional/legal questions and the Court’s analysis; facts are important but HOW the law is applied proves to be more compelling.
Full and accurate citations for the court case you use are REQUIRED, including any other formal sources provided.
Points will be deducted if no source is cited, or the citation is inaccurate. [Due @ 11.59 PM]
