For this  assignment, you will be writing case briefs for cases related to the  topic for the week.  For week six, you will be writing briefs on cases  dealing specifically with access and privilege.  You will choose cases  from each of the sections below, for a total of FOUR case  briefs.  Attached to this assignment are two files.  One is the template  for the assignment and one is an example of how to write the brief.  In  the case brief template, each section is explained.  Simply use the  headings in your own brief.    The  purpose of this assignment is to be able to analyze and break down a  case to its simplest terms.  This is NOT about cutting and pasting from  the actual case documents.  Cutting and pasting from the law cases  constitutes plagiarism.  Please do not do this.
