Read the case and prepare a five-page analysis of the case. The analysis should include the following:
1.Names and description of the parties
2.Background as to how the case reached the court that issued the opinion.
3.Concise summary of the fact that gave rise to the case
4.Summary of the substantive legal question(s) to be decided, as framed by the Court. Note that often courts rule on procedural or jurisdictional issues before they get to the primary or substantive discussion. You do not have to discuss these unless you think they are relevant to the substance.
5.Summary of how the Court ruled on the primary substantive issue or issues.
6.Brief discussion of whether you agree or disagree with the Courts reasoning and/or decision, and why.
