I am really struggling with writing. This assignment is really hard for me. I don't know how to write and summarize everything in 800 words. I don't have a topic yet. Please help me to find a good topic, help me structure and outline or give me an example case brief that could be used as a guide. I have no idea how a 'case brief' should look. Please and thank you. About this Assignment
In this course you learned that employment law is constantly evolving and responding to temporary issues. For this assignment, you will be researching a contemporary employment law case decided by the United States Supreme Court. When considering what qualifies as a 'contemporary employment law case', please consider a law case that raises a legal question (or questions) related to the workplace and employer-employee relationships and that has been presented to the U.S. Supreme Court within the last 5 years. You will be preparing a case brief of the case you research.
For help locating U.S. Supreme Court cases, see:
- Supreme Court of the United States
- Justia
Your case brief should be approximately 600-800 words (not including your Reference page) in length. Use double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font and one-inch margins. Use distinct headings to clearly identify each element (prompt) of your case brief.
