Women and men rights

After reading the document “how to write a case brief.” You may still have questions on how to write a case brief. The document notes that “While opinions may vary, four elements that are essential to any useful brief are the following:

(a) Facts (name of the case and its parties, what happened factually and procedurally, and the judgment)

(b) Issues (what is in dispute)

(c) Holding (the applied rule of law)

(d) Rationale (reasons for the holding)”

For the purpose of this assignment I would start with the case name and date (so you can put them in chronological order per unit and see how the courts’ opinions have changed over time). Then you should present the facts, legal question at issue, holding and then rationale. Make sure to label each part for each case brief clearly and bold the subheading. Make sure to spend adequate time on the rationale of the courts decision. It is often the most important element of the case.
