Case?Brief? 为什么要写case brief？ case brief writing 在英美法的学习中可谓是最常用的基本功了，由于面对的经常是洋洋洒洒的万言判决书，如何抓住case的重点，比如案件事实（facts）、争议点(issues)、法院认定(holding)、推理过程或者判决理由（reasoning），一个简明扼要的case brief 对理解和把握案例非常重要。 1Title (e.g. Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka) ?2 Facts: Summarize the facts of the case. List only the essential facts that you need to understand the holding and reasoning of the case.?3 Procedure（程序手续）: Most of the cases that youll read in law school will be appellate court decisions. In this section, you want to list what happened in the lower court(s). Do not go into too much detail. One or two sentences are sufficient for this section.?4 Issue(s): What is/are the question(s) facing the court? Form the issue questions in a way that they can be answered by yes or no.? 5 Holding: How did the court answer the issue question(s)? YES/NO??6 Reasoning: This is the most important section of your case brief. Here you want to list the reasoning of the majority in reaching its decision. You can actually be quite detailed in this section. List what the law was before this case was decided and how the law has changed after this decision. Law professors love to discuss the reasoning of a case in class discussions.?7 Concurring/dissenting opinions （不是必须的，要看案件有没有附随意见） 2010-2011学年法律英语考试要求： 一、Leichtman案例部分用A4纸打印附在前面，之后再写brief。要求按照上述步骤，从title、facts一直到concurring opinion，注意brief内容是手写，装订在打印的案例之后，最好也用空白A4纸张。Brief尽量简单概括整个案件情况，建议用一页纸写完brief。 二、mock trail 用手写，注意也按照庭审程序the trial process，写出各个阶段进行的诉讼活动。 要求：1.注意 lesson 22 exercises3 中outline of the trial process. 2. 参考lesson 21supplementary reading补充阅读 中关于刑事诉讼中的各项程序，e.g.opening statement。 3.在summarized evidence of the case中选择两个证据进行询问和交叉询问。 4. mock trial 只是一个尝试，希望大家能够进一步熟悉庭审程序，因此take it easy， 自由发挥就可以了，老师会按照你对刑诉的庭审步骤的把握程度以及你的认真准备程度作为评分标准。 三、前三班的试卷交给钟颖，后三班的交给傅文君，两位美女在5月30日上午10点在跃进南西点屋交给我，不交试卷的没有期末考试成绩，望大家相互转告。 最后谢谢大家对我的支持、容忍以及关心！祝愿最亲爱的学生们，考试顺利，前程似锦！再见！ * *
