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 in BLUE BOOK FORMAT . 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. Legal case names should be done in standard \u201cBlue Book\u201d format. Example: York v. Smith, 65 U.S. 294 (1995). For further information see http:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/citation and look under the \u201cHow to Cite\u201d section. Bluebook citation information is also found in the course materials section. Your brief should be 2 pages in length and in the approved format that is attached.`<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
