...IRAC Briefing Content IRAC--BRIEFING CASES For this course, use the IRAC method of briefing for your weekly assignments and for your group assignments. IRAC is: I: ISSUE: What is the question the court (or you in the weekly assignments) must decide? Sometimes there may be more than one issue. 2: RULE: What is the law that the court cites to decide the case? In your individual weekly assignments (not the group assignment) you must cite a page number in your text and the rule you are citing to answer the chapter question. 3: APPLICATION: This is the application of the rule to the facts in the case. 4: CONCLUSION: What does the court actually decide? For example, does the court rule in favor of the party that filed the suit, or the defending party? In the chapter questions, you must decide who prevails. Example: Read the Singer v. Raemisch case, Exhibit 1-6, pages 23-25 in your textbook. Here is how that case might be briefed using the IRAC method. Issue: Can a prison, consistent with the First Amendment, restrict inmates’ speech, when that restriction is reasonably viewed as promoting prison security? Rule: Prison regulations that restrict inmates' constitutional rights are nevertheless valid if they are reasonably related to legitimate penological interests. Page 24. [Notice this is a general statement taken from case law or statutory law, and which would apply to any case that has similar facts.] Application: The D& D ban “bears a rational relationship” to those...

...You have no more than 1,500 words to provide substantive answers to the following questions: 1) A black firefighter alleges that each time he is transferred from one fire station to another, he must take his bed with him, on orders of the fire chief. The chief defends on the basis that it is a legitimate decision, because white firefighters would not want to sleep in the same bed in which a black firefighter slept. Is this illegal under Title VII? Explain your answer. (This was a real case from Georgia). 2) An Employer had only one promotion to give, but he was torn between giving it to the single female and the male employee, who had a family. The employer thought the male employee most needed the job and could best use the money. He finally decided to give the promotion to the male and told the female he gave it to the male because he was a “family man and needed the money.” If the female employee sues, will she win? (This is also a real case.) 3) A female employee has an operation on her breast and when she returns to work, a male employee “jokingly” asks to see the scar. Is this actionable sexual harassment? (This is also a real case). Dillion v. Jogbra Research the Dillon v. Jogbra case decided in Vermont. Your paper should be between 1,000 and 1,500 words. Discuss the findings with your group. Prepare a Case brief: The case brief must be in IRAC Forumla and clearly define the issue, the rule of law used to decide the outcome, provide a analysis...

The score tells you in general terms how the way the essay was written correlates to the expectations for the assignment (note that when taken by themselves, some parts of the essay might by themselves be of higher or lower quality, the score the essay received is the overall score for the essay taken as a whole). Grading Rubric Score 50 55 60 65 70 75 Description Essay identifies subject area and makes some attempt at answering the question. Essay spots at least one major issue but is mostly conclusory. Essay spots several main issues and attempts to answer the question. Essay weaves some of the facts in with the main issues, but falls short of identifying all major issues or misses some important facts.

...A Guide to Writing Answers to the Assignment Questions Introduction Students may be concerned that writing and referencing a law academic paper is ‘different’ to other types of academic papers. This is not correct except that perhaps the level of analysis required may be greater and more reliance on primary sources (e.g. precedent cases and legislation) and secondary sources (textbooks, articles) may be required. But the basic fundamentals are still the same: a well-structured piece of work that leads the reader through a discussion of a particular problem or issue. There should be an introduction, a body and a conclusion. Inevitably, either you will be required to put up arguments for hypothetical parties dealing with a hypothetical business problem or you may be asked for your view about a particular legal issue. It is essential that you base your arguments and views on legal principles and cases and thus reliance on what others have written is necessary. This guide attempts to provide you with some assistance in writing and referencing law academic papers. Some basic resource materials are also noted. [NB: This guide is a starting point only.] There are two types of Law Academic Papers Students who take the Business Law Major will inevitably be expected, at some stage, to answer at least two different styles of legal questions: legal case studies and essays. Legal case studies These are questions based on a set of hypothetical facts. The purpose...

Waxman. August 3, 2012. In the outlined case, DePuy is trying to sue one of their distributors Joint Venture for breach of a non-compete agreement. Under the non-compete covenant Joint Venture disclaim the rights to any of DePuy intangible assets, including intellectual property (IP), goodwill, and customer lists. DePuy claims that Joint Venture breached the non-compete agreement which caused a drop in sales and damaged their relationship with customers in the territories outlined within the agreement.Therefore, the legality of the contract enforced due to the breach of the non-compete agreement. According to Cheeseman 2013, “the section 2-201(1) statue of sales contracts of Uniform Commercial Code laws help prevent fraud like this case” (p. 171). To avoid this case by Depuy or any other companies’ managerial setting must specify agreements with language that is comprehensible by both parties in written valid contracts. Issue:Was there a breach to the contract, under that non-compete covenant between DePuy and Joint Venture? What kind of defenses do companies use to mitigate risk related to personal, real, or intellectual property (IP) issues? The main reason this case went to court...

...HOW TO BRIEF A CASE [OR–WHY DIDN’T I CHOOSE TO GO TO MEDICAL SCHOOL] By Dana L. Blatt, Esq. You are just about to start law school. You buy all of your required casebooks [they are about two feet thick–only “slightly” intimidating], and you receive your first assignment. You are simply told, “read the first 100 pages in each book and BRIEF all of the cases!” O.K., you know how to read [hopefully], but what does it mean to “brief” a case? You have heard of “briefcases,” but that is something that you carry around. The last time you sang at a karaoke bar someone may have asked you to be “brief,” but instinctively you know that that is not the kind of brief that is being discussed here. And you may even be wearing “briefs.” But, what is a brief of a case? For that matter, what is a case? The purpose of this article is to teach exactly what briefs are, why they are important, and how to draft them. You will learn most of the various ways to brief a case, the basic elements of each brief, and how briefs are used in various contexts. Additionally, you will read sample cases and briefs of those cases in every format. By the time you finish reading this, you will be so sick of briefs, that you will wish this writing were much briefer! So, now let’s get down to business. What is a case? A “case” starts out as a lawsuit between two or more people. The parties to the lawsuit have a trial and one party wins while the other loses (or possibly there is no...
