Format
I. Summary of the Facts
This section presents a brief listing of the key facts, with page numbers from the case in parentheses, where appropriate. It should be no more than 1 page in length. Therefore, there is little room for a long-winded presentation of each fact. Important assumptions should also be listed here and labeled as such.
II. Statement of the Problem
This section presents a brief treatment of the major problem or problems, with a concise statement of the major problem or problems you see in the case. This part of your analysis should be no more than 1/2 page in length and may be shorter.
