We continue this week to learn two additional sections of the Issue Analysis; the law and the rationale.Re-read the Schnuck v. First Data case.

The law section states the rule of law that the court applied to reach its holding or decision. This section isn't even provided in full sentences as you're simply naming the law used and the location where it can be found.For example, if it's a case the title would be Smith v. United States and its citation is where it's found, 312 U.S. 212 (1989).If it's a statute, the name might be The Lanham Act, found in 42 U.S.C. 1310.

Many students learning to analyze a case will define the law in this section, but that is not appropriate. Next week we will learn about the rationale section of the brief, which is the longest section and includes defining the law and how the court used it to reach its decision.

The Rationale section is the longest section of the issue analysis and it's where you explain, in your words, how the court reached its decision.You want to discuss the applicable law and how the law does or doesn't apply to the facts.This section alone should be no less than 350 words.Please make sure you use proper sentence and paragraph structure.
