PART 1<\/p>\n
Brief ONE of the three recent Supreme Court cases from the 2015 term attached to this assignment. While each of the cases are long, please don’t submit a case brief longer than 3 pages. Use the same format you used for last week’s assignment. Try to incorporate the lessons you learned from last week’s practice case assignment in to your writing. Before briefing one of the three Supreme Court cases attached, please take a look at the handouts from last week dealing with how to brief a case. <\/p>\n
Case briefs are used to highlight the key information contained within a case for use within the legal community as court cases can be quite lengthy. When writing case briefs, all information must be properly cited. Make sure you are not copying and pasting from your source. Most of the material should be paraphrased; quotations should make up no more than 10% of the brief. Note: since the purpose to is highlight and summarize key information, merely copying and pasting from the case does not accomplish this goal. You must summarize the facts in your own words, using quotations sparingly.<\/strong><\/p>\n Remember to proof read your work! Additionally, don’t forget to submit it as a .doc or .docx document and to actually submit it for grading!<\/strong><\/p>\n Good luck.<\/p>\n PART 2<\/p>\n Prepare an office memorandum to answer this question:<\/p>\n You are a paralegal working in Plentibux & Moore, a boutique Atlantic City, New Jersey law firm that specializes in white-collar criminal defense.
