Case Analysis

Case Analysis Paper: Each student will choose five cases, each from a different chapter, from the readings in Weeks 1 through 3 (Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9). The paper should be divided into sections where each case is under a heading with the case name and page number on it. A common reference page will be used for all cases.

Your responses should be well-rounded and analytical and should not just provide a conclusion or an opinion without explaining the reason for the choice. For full credit, you must use the material from the textbook by using APA citation with page numbers when responding to the questions.

Utilize the case format below.
Read and understand the case. Show your analysis and reasoning and make it clear you understand the material. Be sure to incorporate the concepts of the chapter we are studying to show your reasoning. For each of the cases you select, dedicate one subheading to each of the following outline topics.

Case: (Identify the name of the case and page number in the textbook.)

Parties: (Identify the plaintiff and the defendant.)

Facts: (Summarize only those facts critical to the outcome of the case.)

Issue: (Note the central question or questions on which the case turns.)

Applicable Law(s): (Identify the applicable laws. Use the textbook here by using citations. The law should come from the same chapter as the case. Be sure to use citations from the textbook including page numbers.

Holding: (How did the court resolve the issue(s)? Who won?)

Reasoning: (Explain the logic that supported the court’s decision.)

Case Questions: (Explain the logic that supported the court’s decision.) Dedicate one subheading to each of the case questions immediately following the case. First, fully state the question from the book and then fully answer.

Include citations and a reference page with your sources for all of the cases. Use APA-style citations with page numbers and references.
