CJ 3100 Legal Research & Writing
Dr. Gerstenfeld
Assignment 7


For your final assignment, you are to write an appellate brief for your case. Assume that the case you were given in Assignment4 is now before the state court of appeals.
Here's who you are representing:
Letter A: Mary Minor
Letter B: Happyville School Board
Letter C: Peter Pervert
Letter D: State of Confusion
Letter E: Steve Stoner
Letter F: State of Confusion

Write an appellate brief for your client. Make sure you follow the proper format for briefs. It might be useful for you to take a look at the appellate brief tutorial, which includes briefs written by students in previous years..
You will be graded on whether you follow the proper format; the clarity, organization, and persuasiveness of your writing; and the quality of your writing, grammar, spelling, and citations. Make sure you make the corrections I suggested when I returned your memo to you.
You can pick up your corrected briefs during the first week of the spring semester.
