Brief fact summary: pinpoint the determinative of the case, those that make a difference in the outcome. the goal here is to be able to tell the story of the case without missing any pertinent information but also not including too many extraneous facts either. Synopsis of rule of law: Facts: fact of the case from beginning to end Issue: formulate the main issues or issues in the form of questions, preferably with a yes or no answer, which will help you more clearly state the holding in the next section of the case brief. Held: The holding should directly respond to the question in the issue presented. begin with “yes” or “no”, and elaborate with “because…” from there. if the opinion says “we hold…” that is the holdings, some holdings aren’t so easy to pinpoint though, so look for the lines in the opinion that answer your issue presented question. Concurrence: Pinpoint the concurring or dissenting judge’s main point of contention with the majority opinion and rationale. Descent: Discussion: Please do not use any source from Wikipedia or Oyes. Do not use any sources or citation from Wikipedia or Oyes.an you write a case brief about the case? Do not use Oyes for a source.
