Supreme Court Opinion Analysis (1) – You will be randomly assigned to a classic Supreme Court case that we are discussing this semester (list posted on Blackboard). Your job will be to write a seven-to-eight-page analysis of that case. Papers that are shorter than seven full pages or longer than eight full pages (double-spaced, Times New Roman, twelve-point font, one-inch margins, one space after periods) will receive an automatic length penalty of five points (in addition to any subjective deductions based on quality of work). A strong analysis will demonstrate that you have read all of the opinions, digested their arguments, and produced your own analysis of the opinions. What was the logic of the arguments? Were the arguments strong? Would you have come to similar conclusions, or would you have been on the opposite side of the question? You will not be required to cite any material beyond the opinions themselves. However, I strongly encourage you to consider other Supreme Court cases that may be helpful to your analysis, along with other sources that help you understand the facts and context of the case. Papers will be due April 5 and presentation dates will be randomly assigned.
