Case Analysis

Use the IRAC method to outline Duncan v. Kahanamoku or Boumediene v. Bush. Produce a three- to six-page analysis utilizing the IRAC—issue, rule, analysis, conclusion—method in the module 2 commentary. IRAC is a method used to deconstruct a judicial opinion, but it can be used for anything that you read. Identifying and assessing the merits of an argument or position are academic skills that you will continue to apply and develop. Use this template for your paper with the American Psychological Association (APA) style and format, 6th edition. Note that no additional research is required. All the information is contained in the case.

Grades are based on the following:

• Identification and articulation of the specific, general, and sub-issue(s), rule, analysis, and conclusion
• Description of the dicta (opinions of the court on related issues, and not part of the official ruling)
• Provide a balance analysis of the majority opinion versus the minority opinion

• Provide your opinion of the case the conclusion
• Offering creative and/or critical opinions
