Case Law Firm

In trying to understand how the courts interpret the law, it is interesting to study past cases of similar legal issues. Previous court cases provide an opportunity to understand the law by studying well-argued positions on both sides. When considering a case, it must identify:

1. Acts. We must identify the facts are important and which not.

2. Issue. We must isolate the specific legal issue relevant here.

3. The holding of the Court (the Court)

4. Reasoning (why the court decided as it did).
