Exercises

Begin the following exercises by looking up the cases cited. Then write a case note for each one—that
is, a short case synopsis that follows a standard form: (1) case name and citation; (2) brief facts; (3)
question for decision; (4) holding; (5) reasoning. Your finished product should fit on a five-by-seven-
inch index card (front and back). The exercises are increasingly challenging for either or both of two
reasons: first, the increasing complexity of the legal principles involved; and second, the increasing
difficulty of the language used in the opinions. When you're finished, have a friend assess how easy it
is to understand what you've written. Here's an example of a case note:
