The brief

 
Paper instructions:
The brief should be no more than two pages and ideally should be one.

FACTS: Remember to make the facts about four sentences. Remember to make them the RELEVANT facts to the case.

ISSUE: The issue is the question of the case.

RULE: The rule is why we even read the case usually a direct answer to the question.

APPLICATION: The application is the reason we have this rule. It is usually an explanation of how a law is interpreted. It may discuss precedent or use an analogy.

CONCLUSION: The conclusion is how the case was resolved.

Other methods may have different acronyms but the concepts are all the same. What happened? What is the question of the case? Why is it decided this way?
