Law Case Analysis

What to focus on?

The structure

For this presentation, please include a brief overview of the relevant facts in your case, highlight the key legal issues raised by the facts, identify the relevant legal principles and explain how these were applied in the case. Clearly identify the decision as to how the legal issue(s) were resolved by the court.

The Issue

As you work on this assessment, please remember to focus on the legal issues in your case that deal with substantive issues of law or questions of liability in relation to the relevant topic. The judges in your case may also need to deal with procedural legal issues (e.g rules of evidence or trial procedure) and other matters in dispute ( e.g legal costs) but, for the purposes of this assessment, you should ignore these types of issues.

You should also consider how best to let others in your class know about your case in the time allowed in a way that will keep the class interested and engaged.
