This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeCase Analysis Content

Choose eight cases, each from a different chapter, from the readings in Weeks 1 through 7 (Chapters 1 through 16). The student may not use cases done in previous case analysis submissions. The paper should be divided into sections where each case is under a heading with the case name and page number on it. A common reference page will be used for all the cases.
For each of the cases selected, dedicate one heading to each following outline topic.
• Case: (Identify the name of the case and page number in the textbook.)

• Parties: (Identify the plaintiff and the defendant.)

• Facts: (Summarize only those facts critical to the outcome of the case.)

• Issue: (Note the central question or questions on which the case turns.)

• Applicable Law(s): (Identify the applicable laws.) Use the textbook here by using citations. The law should come from the same chapter as the case. Be sure to use citations from the textbook including page numbers.

• Holding: (How did the court resolve the issue(s)? Who won?)

• Reasoning: (Explain the logic that supported the court's decision.)

• Case Questions: (Explain the logic that supported the court's decision.) Dedicate one subheading to each of the case questions immediately following the case. First, fully state the question from the book and then fully answer.

• Conclusion: (This should summarize the key aspects of the decision and recommendations on the court's ruling.)

• Include citations and a reference page with sources for all the cases. Use APA-style citations with page numbers and references.
