Case Brief

Find four cases from your state that discuss the formation of the attorney-client relationship.  For each case, prepare a one-page legal brief as you learned to do in Legal Research and Writing I.  In case you need a quick reminder, a legal brief identifies and discusses:  Issue, Rule, Holding/Decision and Analysis/Reasoning of the case.  Each case must consider a different issue stemming from the attorney-client relationship.  Remember to use Bluebook format and citations.

Westlaw campus research is the database where students can conduct legal research and not a specific resource it would be like directing them to roadrunner to conduct a search.

Your assignment should demonstrate an understanding of legal writing, as well as the differences between legal writing and academic writing. It should demonstrate thoughtful consideration, a good understanding of the substantive content and demonstrate your ability to communicate information clearly, effectively and in an appropriate tone. Your response should reflect graduate-level writing and BLUEBOOK standards for formatting and citation. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.
