Brief the case Nat’l Football League Mgmt. Council v. Nat’l Football League Players Assoc., 820 F.3d 527 (2nd Cir. 2016) found in the Resources section of the class and attached to this Assignment and labeled as "NFLcase.rft." 


Please remember to you the approved case brief format that includes the following parts: (1) Facts, (2) Procedural History, (3) Issues  (4) Holdings, (5) Reasoning, and (6) Decision (7) Comment. 

Case briefs are used to highlight the key information contained within a case for use within the legal community as court cases can be quite lengthy.
When writing case briefs, all information must be properly cited.  Make sure you are not copying and pasting from your source. Most of the material should be paraphrased; quotations should make up no more than 10%  of the brief.  Note: since the purpose to is highlight and summarize key information, merely copying and pasting from the case does not accomplish this goal. You must summarize the facts in your own words, using quotations sparingly.
 
Please take a look at the three handouts that I have attached here.  
 
The one handout outlines how to brief a case with a detailed explanation of each part of the case brief. Another handout outlines how I will be grading these case briefs.  The third handout provides an example of a properly done case brief.  If you would like to read the case briefed in the model case, please find the case on Lexis at Delanhanty v. Hickley, 564 A.2d 758 (D.C. 1989).   While carefully considering these materials, please remember that you need to brief Nat’l Football League Mgmt. Council v. Nat’l Football League Players Assoc., 820 F.3d 527 (2nd Cir. 2016) case for submission. The case that you will brief will explore the suspension of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.  


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 and announcement sections of the class. 


Your brief should be 2 pages in length and in the approved format.  

Remember that if you need any help with this case brief that I am here to help.
