I. FACTS- Information that occurred

I. Legal Question Presented - In the form of a question; applying facts to a legal source, usually the particular constitutional, statutory, regulatory, or contractual provision involved.

II. ANALYSIS OF THE QUESTION from each side’s perspective, citing at least three statutes, cases, nyc chancellors or ny state regulations, nyc uft contacts, etc. to prove your points

III. RESOLUTION ??" Based on the analysis, what would be the best course for you, as an educational administrator, to take?

Two pieces of advice in writing your papers: (1) Avoid being an advocate for a particular side. Give strong arguments for both sides! (2) In your analysis, start low on the Cascade and work upward. Chancellor’s Regulations and school policies are probably more relevant than some U.S. Supreme Court case or constitutional provision.

Cascade
Federal Law- Constitution, Statutes, regulations, regulatory guidance
State Law- State Constitution, Statutes, Regulations, Regulatory Guidance

Judicial Cascade
Federal Law- Supreme, Circuit Court of Appeals, District Court
State Law (NY)- Court of Appeals, Appellate Division, Supreme Court
