Court Case study
1. Review of Facts:
▪ What happened in this case?
▪ Who are the parties?
▪ What facts are important? Unimportant?
▪ Why did the people involved act the way they did?
2. Frame the Issue: You should pinpoint and discuss the issues or problems presented
by the case. The legal issue is the question of law on which resolution of the case
turns. An issue should be posed in the form of a question. While most cases revolve
around a legal issue, you should also consider issues of public policy, values in
conflict, and practical reality. For example, a case study involving abortion might
involve the following issues:
▪ Legal: Is abortion legal? If so, under what circumstances?
▪ Public Policy: Should abortion be legal? Why or why not?
▪ Values in Conflict: Which value is more important, a woman’s right to privacy
or an unborn child’s right to life? Why?
▪ Practical Reasoning: What are the options open to someone faced with an
unwanted pregnancy? Where can someone in this situation go for help and
advice?
3. Discuss the Arguments: Once you have focused on the issues, you should develop
and discuss the arguments that can be made for and against each of the various
points of view. When discussing the arguments, you should consider questions such
as the following:
▪ What are the arguments in favor of and against each point of view?
▪ Which arguments are most persuasive? Least persuasive? Why?
▪ What might be the consequences of each course of action? To the parties? To
society?
▪ Are there any alternatives?
In discussing the various arguments it is important to foster a climate of acceptance
and openness. You must know that all opinions are welcomed regardless of how
controversial or touchy the issue is. In other words, you should be encouraged to
evaluate all points of view.
4. Reach a Decision: A decision is the answer to the issue or issues posed by the case.
When you are given the decision, as in a court case, they should be asked to evaluate
it.
▪ Do they agree or disagree with it?
5. Personal Influence
▪ Do you agree or disagree with the reasoning behind the courts decisions (with
any or all of them).
▪ What did you learn from your court case?
This is how I want you to turn in this assignment to me.
