Final Draft
The paper will consist of a title page, three distinct and individual sections that focus on your selected Supreme Court case, and a works cited page.

Include any information you feel is important for the reader to know in order to understand your subject. This section should be a minimum of one and a half pages in length.
Section II. Section should explain the decision by the court. This will include the motivations for the decision as well as an explanation of the dissenting votes (unless it was a unanimous vote, in which case you would analyze the legal arguments presented by the losing side in the case). This section should be a minimum of one and a half pages in length.
Section III. Section will analyze the significance of the case on civil liberties and should much more extensively researched than the first two sections (which are largely explanatory).
