CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 EDU 460/660 LEGAL CASE REVIEWS Name _______________________________Date _________________ If you do not know what a case citation is, refer to Chapter 2. The case citation can be found on the Internet. It is not just the name of the case. Case Citation: ______________________________________________ Facts: Explain the essential facts of the case. Tell the story of the case. This will probably be the lengthiest response. Two or three sentences will not suffice. Explain the essential facts of the case; describe all aspects of the case; cite complainant profile, disability, issue; provide up-to-date facts. Decision in administrative hearings and the lower courts: State the decision made in each. Provide information/decision in all courts. Some of the cases went to a hearing officer or administrative due process, then a district court of appeals, and then to the U.S. Supreme Court. Rationale: Explain the gist of the court ruling (i.e., why the court arrived at its holding). This is the reason the court arrived at its decision. It may be based on interpretation of the IDEA federal law. The court may refer to case law that has already been established. The court may consider a “factor-test” such as the four-factor test established in the Rachel H case. Holding: The precise ruling of the court. The length of this response can vary. It may be something as simple as the court held that the student’s placement was the LRE and the judgment of the district court was affirmed, or the answer may require a list of 3 or 4 decisions made by the court. Explain the gist of final court ruling; define main focus; explain relevance to special education issues. Scope of the holding: Identify the jurisdiction of the court , the population addressed by the court, and the issue(s) or cause(s) addressed in the case. This may be the US District Court, and if so, it applies to the people residing in that circuit (list the states that make up the circuit). If a case makes it to the Supreme Court, then the jurisdiction is nationwide. (Yes, that includes Alaska and Hawaii.) All of the decisions in the cases reviewed apply to the population associated with the public schools. Your statement should read something like this: This case was heard by the United States Supreme Court whose jurisdiction is nationwide. It affects all those associated with public schools. The case was related to least restrictive environment. If it was heard by a circuit court, then the statement may look like this: This case was heard by the Fifth Circuit Court which is comprised of Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi and applies to all the people residing in therein and associated with public schools. The issue of this case was least restrictive environment. Personal Reflection: State personal opinion of the pros and cons of the case decision(s); describe personal like or dislike for the decision(s); personal and/or professional implications for teaching. How does the case affect you or your students? List the resources you used. They do not have to be in a formal bibliography.
