A case that governs or affects the outcome of a client's case is commonly referred to as being "on point." Research locates the law, analysis determines how the law applies, and legal writing assembles and integrates the results into a usable form. Find a subject in the media that involves litigation (there is or has been a lawsuit on the subject). Review the article(s) on the topic and locate a court opinion that is "on point". Explain why the case is on point and how it applies to the subject you have researched
