hi tutor, could you help me with this brief? according the requirement below. Thanks.
Clark v. McDaniel (1996) 546 N.W. 2d 590
Facts: (This is the “story” that gives rise to the case. What facts are at the root of the controversy? Just tell this chronologically, like a story. 10 points.)
Procedural History: (Procedurally, what has happened in this case? Procedural History starts when the lawsuit is filed. What are the legal theories that the plaintiff is using (negligence? breach of contract? etc.)? Was there a trial or a motion? Who won it? Who is appealing? Why? The is the story of the case as it moves through the court system. 10 points.)
Issue: (This is the question that this appeals court is trying to answer by hearing this case. If there is more than one issue, write them separately, number them, and put each issue in a separate paragraph. Issues are often based on what the appellant is arguing in his/her appeal. 15 points.)
Result/Holding: (The result is the answer to the issue. There will be a separate answer to each issue. If there is more than one result, number each one (to correspond to the issue numbers), and put each in a separate paragraph. The holding is the “rule,” if any, that can be taken from this case. 15 points.)
Reasoning: (The is the court’s explanation of how it went from its issue to its result/holding. This is usually the longest part of the brief, and will include references to cases, statutes, and other legal sources. Discuss each issue separately. Each issue should have at least one paragraph. Discuss each issue in the RAC format (see chapter 1 and the evaluation form). 25 points.)
Procedural Consequences: (Look for the “magic” words: affirmed, reversed, modified, and/or remanded. This tells us what happens as a result (after) the appeal. This part will be very short. 5 points.)
Please use this format, since part of your grade (20 points) will be based on your use of this format. Your brief should be typewritten, double-spaced, and at least two full pages in length. Underline and bold your headings. Indent the first line of each new paragraph. Use a font size of 11 or 12. Italicize the case names. Pay attention to your grammar and spelling, as I will deduct points for spelling and grammar errors.
Read over the case several times before starting your brief. Since you are not used to reading cases, it’s unlikely that you will understand the case the first time you read it. Organize before you start writing. You MUST use quotation marks when quoting from the case. Further, remember that in my class, copying and pasting from the case into your paper is plagiarism. You can quote from the case, but you must type out your quote and use quotation marks for the quoted material.
Remember also that a brief is a formal document, even though it is not submitted to a court. Therefore it should not contain any slang, contractions, or abbreviations (unless they are part of a quote). Call the people by their last names, not their first names or their party designations (plaintiff, defendant, appellant, etc.). Write in past tense since this case happened in the past.
