This week’s written assignment is a Case Analysis – this is not the same (at all) as a case brief. Please be sure to thoroughly read and review the instructions and sample analysis in the module 2 slides. Another way this assignment is different from a case brief is that you must do an analysis on each scenario (whereas you write a case brief on just one case). Since each fact pattern/scenario is different and contains different issues than the other scenarios in the same assignment, do not cite and discuss the same relevant legal case for more than one scenario. There will be 1-2 cases that can usually be cited per scenario, with the correct relevant legal concept(s), and used to apply to the given fact pattern/scenario. I will deduct points if you cite and discuss the same relevant case for multiple scenarios. And remember, these are ANALYSES – if you can fit all 3 analyses on 1 page, that is likely insufficient. You need to define and explain. How has the law changed? Were the first fourteen Amendments to the U.S. Constitution all added or ratified at the same time? What has been added since 1791? What do you think prompted these changes? hroughout this course, you will be required to research original case law in order to complete assignments and participate in discussions. Although most cases can be found in the textbook, you may find the following sources helpful: FindLaw for Legal Professionals–a free case law source service offered by Thompson Reuters. It contains all of the cases mentioned in your textbook. You will need to register in order to use the site. (http://lp.findlaw.com) U.S. Supreme Court and federal cases can be located through the Legal Information Institute at Cornell Law School (http://www.law.cornell.edu) or through Oyez (http://oyez.org). You can also find links to U.S. Supreme Court cases and other lower court cases via Google, Yahoo, or other search engines. Make sure you are reading the actual case and not a summary. Review the sample brief on pp. 22-23 of your textbook. Using the sample brief and your brief instructions as a guide, prepare a case brief on one of the following cases: Washington v. Glucksberg (1997) Melinda Speelman v. Bellingham Housing Authority (2013)
