Assignment
Complete a case essay on any United States Supreme Court case that involves an interpretation of the Constitution. (This encompasses most of the cases that come before the Supreme Court.) However, choose a case that was heard by the Supreme Court within the past five years. Doing so will help ensure that you are writing your essay on current and relevant case law.
Your essay should be 2 complete pages, as well as a title page and references. It should contain the following information:
1. Who is involved in the case?
2. How has the case moved through the legal system (who filed it, in what court? What appellate court heard it? How did it get to the Supreme Court?)?
3. What was the issue in the case?
4. What did the Court decide? (note that the U.S. Supreme Court is called "Court", not "court" and/or "SCOTUS")
5. What was the Court's analysis (Why did they decide as they did)?
6. Did any Justices dissent, and if so, what did they have to say?
7. What is the impact of this case?
