24 Aug Determine the headings for a the appellate brief
The lead attorney, Avery, asks you to draft the headings for the GoKar appellate brief argument and submit them to her. Drafting the headings and subheadings for the argument section will entail organizing and outlining the argument. Your headings will serve essentially as an outline of your argument and you should include subheadings, if necessary. You will need to decide which issues or points need to be argued and the order of their presentation. A point is a specific reason that the court should rule in favor of your party. Often, you should aim to start your argument section with your strongest point. However, pay attention also to the logical progression of your argument, as that may determine the how to best order your issues or points in your argument. Point headings should be complete sentences that present your point in an assertive, declarative manner.
Your discussion should demonstrate thoughtful consideration this week’s materials and demonstrate your ability to communicate the information clearly and in an appropriate tone. Your response should reflect graduate-level writing and BLUE BOOK standards.
