Case Brief Assignment

To find cases for this assignment, I recommend searching in LexisNexis.

If you have a particular case in mind, you can search for it by citation number or by the parties involved. If you don't have a particular case in mind (or don't know its specific information) you can search by keyword instead.

A guide to the common sections in case documents in legal documents is available here.

In Westlaw, select the appropriate option under Statues and Regulations on the main search page:

In LexisNexis, click on Federal or State Statutes, Codes and Regulations under US Legal in the sidebar:
