After reading the case on pages 8 & 9 of the text

- After reading the case on pages 8 & 9 of the text, summarize (brief) the key
facts of the case. There is an example of a case brief on page 8 immediately
above the case. The brief refers to case 1.1 on the preceding page.
The summary of a legal case is called a ‘Case Brief” or simply a “brief,” and it
should follow a specific format.

 The first question asks you to prepare a “Case
Brief” for Case 1.2: cThere is a
sample “brief” of Case 1.1 on p. 8. That is a good example and it shows the correct
format. We’ll be u

sing the same format each week, so it’s worth the time to become
familiar with it. For the Unit 1 assignment, here’s an outline that works, along
with some comments:
Name of case: The name of the case is given in the
textbook.
Court: Use the name of the court that had the final decision in the
case.Citation: The citation is given in the case in the textbook. 

Parties and their
roles: There are usually two parties each case. Identify them and indicate which
party is the plaintiff and which is the defendant.Facts: The facts are covered in
the case in the textbook. Summarize the relevant facts in your own words, using
citations to the case as needed.Issues: The issues are also identified in the
textbook. As with the facts, summarize the relevant issues in your own words, using
citations and references as needed.District Court decision: Briefly summarize the
decision of the District Court.Court of Appeals decision: 

Briefly summarize the
decision of the Court of Appeals.Supreme Court decision: Briefly summarize the final
decision of the Supreme Court.Reasoning: This is the only part of the brief that is
likely to exceed two or three sentences. Summarize the reasoning of the court that
had the final decision in the case, and explain why they reached the verdict that
they did. In Unit 1, you will be describing the reasoning of the Supreme Court, as
written by Justice Souter. 2) Discuss the applicable law and legal issues in the
case.This is the same as the Issues section from the Case Brief in Q1, but with
additional detail. Identify the law that the defendant is accused of violating and
look at the issues that may be relevant in the decision of the court. One of the
possible issues in the assigned case is the fact that it is legal to loan or give a
piece of music to a friend, or share portions of a copyrighted work for educational
purposes. The name of that legal issue is “fair use.” The other legal issue is
described in the case. 3) Why did the court find against Grokster.This is the same
as the Reasoning section from the Case Brief in Q1. Explain why the Supreme Court
reversed the lower courts and find Grokster guilty. Go into a little more detail
than in the Reasoning section of Q1.4) Assume you are the CEO of Grokster. What
could you do to be compliant with copyright laws?The prior questions should have
identified what Grokster was doing to receive the guilty verdict. This question
asks what it would take to make a service like Grokster’s legal. Use citations and
references whenever possible to connect your recommendations to relevant material in
the textbook.
