I am looking for assistance with the following powerpoint presentation for a business law course.
Please be advised that the cases are summaries and you will need to do a little research to have a more comprehensive understanding of the case.
A good reference would be a youtube video on “preparing a brief”.
How to organize your powerpoint would be
FACTS: Tell me what happened in the case. Who filed the lawsuit and who was the defendant.
ISSUE: What was the question that the Court had to decide? ( an example in a criminal case might be whether the police had violated the defendants 4th amendment rights by conducting an illegal search) A Civil case might include whether the defendant breached the contract.
RULES: This is the authority that the Court relied on when making its decision. Often this is other cases before, or statutes or the Constitution
ANALYSIS: This refers to the Courts rationale and why it decided what it did.( Maybe there was a lack of jurisdiction because the company did not do business in that state.
CONCLUSION: What was the Courts decision. Caselaw is an appeal from a lower court so the higher court would affirm, reverse or remand. You will have to explain what the lower court found so that I would know what was reversed or affirmed.
