Document Summary

Using paragraph numbers or page numbers when citing (doesn"t matter which for this assignment but be consistent) After the word held is the justice ruling. Cases cited indicates the end of the headnotes summary. Paragraph one is the beginning of the actual case. Can use the word document table, but make sure you are using full sentences. Case briefs are common as they are the easiest way of getting the most important information through to the reader. Write the case with the idea that the reader has never read the case. When you move paragraphs within the case add new citations.
