This week, please create and present a PowerPoint presentation summarizing your case law project (the topic you selected in Week 2). This assignment includes two components: a digital submission of your PowerPoint file and an in-class exhibition where you will briefly present your work to your classmates.
Your presentation should summarize the key elements of your case in a clear and engaging way. The presentation, if given in front of the class, should take no more than five to seven minutes. Keep your slides visually organized and conciseuse brief bullet points, clear headings, and visuals where appropriate to support your explanations.
Your PowerPoint must include the following slides:
- Title Slide: Include the case name and year, your name, the course title, and the date.
- Constitutional Issue: Provide a brief explanation of the constitutional question or issue at the heart of the case.
- Facts of the Case: Summarize the essential background information and the key facts that led to the dispute.
- Progression to the U.S. Supreme Court: Describe how the case advanced through the lower courts before reaching the Supreme Court.
- Opinion and Dissent: Summarize the majority opinion and any dissenting opinions, highlighting key legal reasoning.
- Impact of the Case: Explain how the ruling affected society, the law, or future legal cases.
- Your Judicial Perspective: If you were a judge on this case, how would you have ruled? Present your reasoning in third person.
You will present your slides during an in-class exhibition, where you will share your findings and engage in a brief discussion about your case. The goal is to demonstrate your understanding of the legal and constitutional issues while effectively communicating the cases significance.
During the in-class exhibition, please present your case law project to your peers in a brief 57 minute presentation. You may use a PowerPoint presentation, trifold board, brochure, or another visual aid to display the key points of their case. Presentations should be clear, organized, and engaging, allowing you to explain the major constitutional issue, court progression, and impact of the case while answering questions or discussing insights with your classmates.
As we engage in both online and in-class discussions, please maintain professionalism at all times:
- Speak from knowledge. Base your comments on facts, legal reasoning, and historical context.
- Acknowledge humanity. Remember that these cases involve real people affected by the decisions.
- Stay on topic. Focus discussions on legal principles, constitutional questions, and societal impact.
