Cases are included in this text as a means of teaching legal principles and concepts. As a general rule, cases are included in chapters where the legal concepts are covered in relative detail.
You may select a case from the text, however, you will still need to go online and read the unabridged case, since these cases are very abbreviated.

1. Identify the case citation: the name of the case ie. parties involved the date of the decision the court that decided the case
2. Discuss the relevant facts of the case briefly. Do not copy the facts from the case, but glean important information and include in a synopsis of the case.

4. Give the holding of the case. This is usually discussed the judgment section of each case.
