Case law is written when a court of law takes the law (more case law or statutory law) as it exists at a particular point in time and applies that law to a specific set of facts. All case law contains essentially the same parts:

1. Case name, Court, Year, Publication information (this is the case citation)
2. Holding
3. Procedural History
4. Facts
5. Issues
6. Rules of Law
7. Analysis
8. Procedural History=PH
9. Facts=F
10. Issues=I
11. Rules of Law=RL
12. Analysis=A
13. Holding= H (I usually star or highlight the holding in a case.)
