Brief one of the Supreme Court opinions at the end of chapter 6.

A brief consists of the following:

• Facts - describe what happened. Describe the facts of the case. What is the lawsuit about?
• Issue- What is the critical legal issue of the case?
• Decision - What was the court's decision?
• Reason - What was the reasoning behind the decision?

Also, give your opinionon the decision.Explain why you agree or disagree with the decision.Your statement should be based on legal analysis.

However, remember, the idea of a brief is to provide the essential details.

• I want your brief to show me that you read and understand the case.
