BRIEF FOR THE PETITIONER/RESPONDENT
______
JURISDICTION
The parties agree that as the final Court of appeals, the Supreme Court of the United States has jurisdiction over this case. The parties further agree to not raise any jurisdictional issues in either their brief or their oral arguments.
STATEMENT OF THE CASE
This section provides the procedural history of the case and should include a brief description of the dispute between the parties, a summary of how the case moved through the court system (i.e. the date and ruling of each court), and when this Court granted the petition for writ of certiorari.
STATEMENT OF THE FACTS
This section should provide a general description of the facts of the case. In the Statement of the Facts, teams should introduce all facts referenced in the argument section. Put another way, no fact that appears later in the brief should be missing from the Statement of the Facts.
SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT
As the title suggests, this section provides a summary of the team’s argument. The Summary of the Argument should correspond both to thequestions presented and to the headings in the argument section.
ARGUMENT
This section is the bulk of the brief and lays out, in organized form, the team’s argument. It begins with a point-by-point response to thequestion presented, moves into a discussion of the general principles of the applicable law, and then goes into further detail about why the issue should be resolved in the team’s favor. Next, the brief goes into a second point-by-point response to the second question presented, if applicable, then moves into a discussion outlining the general principles of the applicable law, and then goes into further detail about why the issue should be resolved in the team’s favor. There can be multiple prongs of an argument.
CONCLUSION
The conclusion should include a request that the judgment ofthe lower court be upheld/reversed. This is called a prayer for relief.
Respectfully submitted,
