Lawyers approach legal issues with structured, thorough analysis. To learn health law material, it is helpful to apply a similar approach. The standard approach for legal analysis is called IRAC (Links to an external site.), for:
ISSUE 2) RULE 3) ANALYSIS 4) CONCLUSION
It is helpful to apply this approach in analyzing a case. Focusing on the analysis of a particular case is called “briefing” the case. In doing a brief, you should do the following.
Identify significant legal issue(s) in the case.
For each issue, identify the legal rule that is relevant for that issue
Use the legal rule to then analyze the facts of the case.
In analyzing, break the rule down into different requirements.
Address each requirement of that legal rule.
Use a relevant fact to analyze each requirement.
Then, connect the facts to the rule with an appropriate explanation.
Finally, make a reasonable conclusion based on your analysis?
In analyzing a particular case, one recommended format is the following:
FORMAT FOR BRIEFING CASES
CASE NAME
FACTS: RELEVANT FACTUAL CIRCUMSTANCES OF CASE PROCEDURAL HISTORY
ISSUE(S): LEGAL QUESTIONS THAT COURT IS RESOLVING
DECISION: DECISION OF COURT ON ISSUE(S) RESOLUTION OF CASE
REASONS: RATIONALE FOR DECIDING THE CASE INCLUDE RULE PLUS ANALYSIS LEADING TO CONCLUSION
MANAGERIAL IMPLICATIONS: SIGNIFICANCE OF LAW/CASE TO BUSINESS AND ADMINISTRATION
