*Selection:  Look over the selections, and then email me (jkobylka@mail.smu.edu) your top three choices; I will assign cases on a first-come, first-served basis.

**Posting Briefs: Every student should email (jkobylka@mail.smu.edu) or "electronic drop box" me (or bring by my office on a disk) a copy of his or her brief at least one class day before s/he presents her/his case to the class. Late briefs will be penalized as indicated in the syllabus.

***Presentation:  You will repare a five-minute (and only five minutes; going longer will result in a dramatically reduced grade) presentation of the case to the class and field questions from class members about the content and significance of the case.

****Sources: All cases need to be accessed via standard print or web sources. Brief and present all opinions.  If you are presenting a case that is excerpted in our texts, you must read and brief from a full text source (published full opinions in text or web sources).
