Case Brief Assignment

Students will begin the assignment by identifying a controversial area of the law. For example, a student may be frustrated with the high verdicts that individuals receive in personal injury cases, where the individuals contributed to their own injuries. The student may perform research and discover the McDonald’s case where a woman spilled hot coffee on herself, received third degree burns and sued McDonald’s.

The student would then do legal research and locate the McDonald’s case and write a brief of the case. Essentially, this means the student will break the case down into parts consisting of the rule of law, relevant facts, decision and reasoning.

Students can choose to brief a case on any topic. Note that students can find cases on the U.S. Supreme Court website. The link is located under the “Getting Started” module under the “Online Courses Resources” tab. Feel free to use a case which is referenced in the textbook.

Students must choose a U.S. Supreme Court case that has been decided after 1990.
