The brief for each principal case in the casebook saves you time and helps you retain important issues.
Each brief has a succinct statement of the rule of law/black letter law, description of the facts, important points of the holding and decision, and concurrences and dissents included in the casebook excerpt. This overview is combined with a short analysis: all to help you broaden your understanding and support you in classroom discussion.
Quicknotes at end of each brief give you short definitions of the legal terms used.
A handy Glossary of common Latin words and phrases is included in every Casenote.
Detailed instruction on how to brief a case is provided for you.
