Solved by verified expert:Paper due November 20.Attached paper details, and email of what my teacher assistant wants. Thank you!!!!!Below is what my proposal looks like and what ill be writing about.Paper Proposal:Precedent: Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 US 537 (1896)In 1896, Homer Plessy boarded a white only train in Louisiana. Plessy was one-eighth black and seven-eighths white but because he was one eighth black he was still considered black and refused to move to the colored bus, which led to him being arrested for breaking the Louisiana state law. Louisiana’s infamous “Separate Car Act” of 1890, required colored people and white people to sit in segregated compartments in public carriers in Louisiana. The Plessy v. Ferguson is considered a very important case because it established the doctrine of “separate but equal” that allowed states for the first time to legally segregate the races.Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S 483 (1954)Page 495

Law 200: Paper
Paper Topic
Choose a case that the Supreme Court cited in one of the opinions assigned in this course. The
case you choose must not be a case that we have read in this class. Then evaluate the
significance of the case you have chosen for the opinion that we read. Recall, for example, how
important the Court’s decision in Casey was to its later decision in Whole Woman’s Health; the
Court in Whole Woman’s Health relied substantially on Casey for its articulation of the
applicable legal test. Your task is to choose a case that, unlike Casey, we did not read for class,
and explain its importance to a case that we did read. Of course, you must carefully read the
case you select, and not simply restate what the Supreme Court said about it later. You will be
evaluated on the quality of your own analysis of the case you select, as it relates to the case we
read in class.
To find your case, start by re-reading one of the assigned cases that particularly interested you.
Pay attention to the prior decisions prominently cited in the majority opinion; consider whether
the decision(s) also was cited in one or more of the dissents. If a transcript of the oral argument
is available, you may also wish to consider whether the case came up then. Read one or more of
these prior decisions, and select one for your paper that is notable as a precedent for the later
decision.
Suggested Organization
The paper should begin with a description of the case assigned in this class and of how the Court
used the case you have selected. You should then discuss the case you have selected, including
its key facts, reasoning, and holding to the extent they are pertinent to assigned case. Having
created that framework, you can then evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the case you
selected as a precedent for the assigned case. The goal of your paper is to demonstrate that you
can read a case on your own and clearly explain its holding and relative importance to a later
decision.
In evaluating the importance of the case you select for the assigned case, you may consider
addressing the following questions (these are illustrative only, to aid your thinking, and not
necessarily to be answered directly or sequentially in your paper):
• For what purpose did the Court use the case you selected?
o What argument(s) does the Court use it to bolster?
o How heavily does the Court rely on the case you selected?
o How much of the analytical work needed to decide the assigned case does the case that
you select itself do? Does it effectively decide the case? If not, what key analysis and
further work still remained for the Supreme Court to do in the assigned case?
o Does the majority opinion in the assigned case overstate what the case you selected
actually held?
o Did the dissent address your selected case? If so, who had the better of the argument as
to your case – the majority or the dissent?
Requirements & Deadlines
• 3-5 pages, double spaced (750-1200 words)
•
•
Proposal due Monday, October 23rd at 2pm
o Typed proposal including your name, the case analyzed as precedent, the case from our
class in which it is cited, and the page number on which it appears.
Final paper due Monday, November 20th at midnight
o Submitted via Blackboard online
FAQ
• The case must be cited in the majority’s reasoning.
• Websites that may be helpful to find original cases include: www.oyez.org; Google scholar;
www.scotusblog.com; www.justia.com
• Cite cases as Sanders v. Missouri, 500 U.S. 15 (2000); cite thereafter to specific page
numbers within a case as Sanders, 500 U.S. at 20; if citing sequentially to the same case,
then cite thereafter to Id. at 25.
