Purpose

The goal of this assignment is for the learner to locate, read, understand, and accurately summarize the critical aspects of an U.S. domestic law published court decision.


Tasks with Directions

Your assignment is to conduct legal research to locate a U.S. domestic published appellate court decision concerning an aspect of U.S. healthcare and submit a written case review summary using the course Case Review Format provided below.

The aspect of healthcare and the specific case/decision is yours to decide. Case topics include, but are not limited to, litigation involving medical malpractice, Affordable Care Act, pharmaceutical liability, insurance company health care contracting, protecting patient information, etc.  Choose a topic or issue of professional or personal interest to examine its legal perspective.  


See Anatomy of a Published Legal Case, Examples on How to Cite the Law, How to Locate Free Case Law on the Internet, CHP 480 Case Review Format, and CHP 480 Sample Case Review resources provided at the Assignment Submission tab.      


You must find and use a copy of the courts original full-length published decision. Accordingly, you may not use any secondary source such as an article, textbook, website, or other publication, blog discussion, etc. that discusses your case or provides a summary synopsis. You must, instead, locate and use the “original” published decision because the purpose of this exercise is to familiarize you with “where the law comes from” and expose you to the idiosyncratic format of how legal decisions are drafted and published – something distinctly different from other formats encountered in academia and society in general. By reading the full decision and summarizing it using the Case Review format, you will have a useful process and framework to feel comfortable and confident in your ability to locate, read, comprehend, summarize, and apply any reported “case law” on any topic and for any purpose.

For this assignment, restrict yourself to federal and state appellate court decisions (U.S. and state Supreme Court and Courts of Appeal) because these court decisions offer the complete picture and often provide precedent-setting decisions with significant impact on either the provision or enforcement of public health services and programs.
