Case Summary Final

SPM 4723

Case Presentation Project

Students will work in groups of 4 or 5 to present arguments for a selected case. The students will explain and present the facts of the case to the class. This will include all background information surrounding the parties of the case. This will help to provide a context for the case and the related judicial opinions. Each group will also explain the relevant law, the court’s opinion, and develop and present arguments in favor of the court’s opinion and argument against the court’s opinion. It would be helpful to also include any lower court opinions and explain how they ruled in the case. Students must use relevant case law as well as law review and academic articles to support their arguments.

Groups will have no more than 10 minutes for their presentation and each group has the opportunity choose from three ways to present their case. If a group would like to present in another way, it must receive the approval of the instructor to do so. Presentations should be creative, informative and substantive. The presentation should be in your own words and reflect your personality and interpretation of the case and its relevance to sport.

Each student can to have one index card to reference during the presentation, but students should have a thorough knowledge of their material so they are not reading from notes but only referencing their talking points. Students should also not reading directly from the presentation, as that tends to demonstrate and lack of understanding of and familiarity with the material. Students may not use their phones during the presentation. Along with the presentation, each student must submit a 1-2 page paper summarizing their contribution to the presentation and an evaluation of the other group members (instructions on the evaluation will be provided). Papers must be submitted in Canvas on Monday, April 13th , the week of the presentations.

It is your responsibility to find the students in your group and coordinate times to work on the project. I highly recommend that students find their group members as soon as possible. As stated on the syllabus all students are expected to attend every class so finding group members should not be a problem. Additionally, you should be able to contact students in your group via Canvas or campus email. It is each student’s responsibility to contribute equally to this project. Failure to do so will be reflected in each student’s individual grade. Each group and assigned case are listed on the table on the next page.

I would advise against waiting until the last minute or the week before the presentations to meet and work on the project. In the past, last minutes presentations are obvious and reflect a lack of effort to learn the case and develop a unique and creative presentation that does not simply regurgitate material from the case.
