This week, you read the case Crummy v. Morgan and watched a video that explained how to brief legal cases. Now, you’ll take a stab at writing your own case brief.
First, read the following case: Southern Prestige v. Independence Plating (Links to an external site.).
Next, prepare a case brief for this case, using the IRAC format (Citation, Issue, Rule, Application, Conclusion). A few reminders: your issue should be a question, and the conclusion should answer that question.
Avoid using direct quotes from the case: put as much as possible into your own words. If you do use language from the case, you must put it in quotation marks and indicate that it is a direct quote. If you do not do so, you are plagiarizing, which is a violation of the OSU Student Conduct Code. I should not see more than 1-2 sentences that are direct quotations from the case.
You may submit this assignment as a .doc or .docx file, or text entry in this assignment.
Please review the grading rubric. Because this is your first case brief, I am not expecting perfection! You will receive full marks for this assignment if you turn in a case brief that includes all parts of the IRAC formula, have made a good effort to analyze the case, and you have put the brief into your own words so that I have evidence that you understood the material. While I am not grading your punctuation, grammar, or spelling, if the quality of the writing interferes with my ability to understand what you have written, you may be marked down.
