Assignment #6 – Legal Brief

Brief the case of Maryland v. Pringle, 540 U.S. 366 (2003). This case can be found at the following link http://supct.law.cornell.edu/supct/pdf/02-809P.ZO or under the “Resources” section of the classroom.

Legal case names should be done in standard “Blue Book” format. Example:
York v. Smith, 65 U.S. 294 (1995). For further information see http://www.law.cornell.edu/citation and look under the “How to Cite” section. Bluebook citation information is also found in the course materials section.

Please note that your brief should be, for the most part, in your own words. By briefing a case, you are reading the entire court opinion then summarizing it into your own words so that the important information from the brief is easier to understand and remember. If you are using language from a case, please be sure to put it in quotes and include the reference.
