Overview: In litigation, lawyers need to rely on case law to support the outcome

    Overview:
    In litigation, lawyers need to rely on case law to support the outcome they are asking
    the court take. Lawyers will often “brief” a case to obtain a better understanding of the
    case. In other words, lawyers will use a specific format to outline the most important
    points in a court’s decision. This activity will also assist you in understanding the cases
    discussed in this class.
    Instructions:
    • Listen to the oral arguments in the Olympic Airways v. Husain case. Read
    about the case.
    • Read about how to brief a case.
    • Using the template provided, complete a “brief” about the case, including the
    following:
    o Who are the parties to the case?
    o What is the citation of the case?
    o What are the basic facts of the case?
    o What did Dr. Hanson’s estate argue?
    o What did Olympic Air argue?
    o What did the court decide?
    o Did the court apply statutory law, case law or both in reaching its decision?
    Requirements:
    • Use APA format for non-legal sources such as the textbook. Use Bluebook
    citation format for any legal citations.
    o Include the resource to the case and oral arguments.
    o You do not need to use any sources other than your text and the audio
    recording of the oral arguments.
