For this assignment, you will write a formal legal case brief on either 

Santa Fe Independent School Dist. v. Doe, 530 U.S. 290 (2000) 

or

Ramirez v. Collier, 595 U.S. ___ (2022)

     a. If you brief Santa Fe Independent School District, then in your comment section, explain how it compares to Good News Club v. Milford Central School, 533 U.S. 98 (2001), which you reviewed in our W6 Discussion. 

- What did the dissenting justices opine? Did the Court in Good News Club interpret the Constitution differently than the Court in Santa Fe Independent School District? What was the key Constitutional provision that each case analyzed? How would you have decided each case? Explain.

     b.  If you review Ramirez v. Collier, 595 U.S. ___ (2022), then in your comment section, explain how it compares to Dunn v. Ray, 586 U.S. ___ (2019).

- Why was one prisoner granted his request while another was denied? 

- What did the 11th Circuit conclude in Dunn v. Ray?

- What happened in each case, what was the Court's decision (why did it reach this conclusion?), and what did the dissenting justices opine?  Did the Court in  Dunn interpret the Constitution differently than the Court in Ramirez? What was the key Constitutional provision that each case analyzed? Given precedent, how would you have decided each case? Explain.

Do not offer your personal opinion, but explain how your conclusion is supported by the law.

To assist you, I have provided a sample case brief and a handout on how to brief a case. You will be graded in part on following the proper format of a case brief and capturing the essential points of the case as outlined in the handout; please see the Rubric. 

Your brief should be around two pages long. If you quote the case, you need to put in a pinpoint citation. You are not to use other websites; instead, give me your own analysis of the case using the headings provided.
