Please pick one case from Oregon courts to analyze it. Want them in 4 pages

B.        Assignment

Pick a topic of in interest and express it in a few simple words—for instance, the words “real estate fraud” or “false imprisonment” or “battery.”  You can also add more specific words such as “store” or “stress” or “weapon.”  Then add the name of a court with your words—for instance “Oregon Court of Appeals”  Google these terms.  Many published cases will appear. 

Instead of Google, you may also search the powerful lexis/nexis legal data base available free to SOU students by using the following link:  http://glacier.sou.edu/login?url=http://www.lexisnexis.com/universe (see “Look up a Legal Case” then use “or by topic” box for search terms).   

Any published state or federal case will be fine, but please don’t hesitate to contact me if you would like suggestions.   

For specific instructions, please see pages 30-31 and Appendix A in the text.  If you wish, additional briefing instructions are available on-line under a search of “how to brief a case” or the like.  Length should be approximately four to five pages, double spaced.
