Instructions for Justice's Brief:

Your brief should seek to guide the reader by relying on Supreme Court precedent, jurisprudential doctrines and tests, and other legal approaches to demonstrate the persuasiveness of your position. Determine, based upon the facts, constitution, and precedent which side is correct.

The brief should begin by clearly identifying the central constitutional question or questions presented by the case, and the stance you are taking (where their rights violated or not and why (i.e. a thesis statement). The core of your brief, however, should focus on explaining the reasoning for your decision focusing on the existing law, as applied to the facts before you, best supports your proposed resolution of the constitutional question or questions you've identified. Case facts should not be discussed for their own sake; rather, you should work the most germane case facts into your argument as support for it. Do not add to the case facts presented to you; it is essential that all actors work with the same information.
