You are a Supreme Court Justice. Assume that the events below, which are real, are being appealed to you and your Court. Read the information about the
case, and write an essay of approximately 7-10 pages telling how you would decide it and why:
1) What is the law being challenged, which parts of the Constitution is at issue, and what is the legal question your Court is being asked to decide?
2) What is your decision and why? Answer the question by citing specific case precedents from our class in your answer; explain how you are applying those
specific precedents to the case at hand. Don't just summarize relevant cases, but show how they are similar to or different from this case, and how they are
guiding your decision. Use only cases we discussed in class. Do not do outside research, do not read the Court of Appeals’ ruling, and do not use cases we
did not discuss in class. Citing more cases is better than citing fewer—show me what you have learned so far this semester.
Prove to me that you know and understand the material we have studied, that you have thought about and analyzed it, and that you can apply it to the
material at hand.
Be as detailed as possible.
