See the attached.
Answer the following questions:
1) Who were the parties
2) Who was suing whom and for what reason. What were the positions/arguments of each party?
3) What was the holding of the court that heard the case just before the Supreme Court.
4) What did the Supreme Court majority decide?
5) What did the dissent decide?
6) How would you have decided this case and what are the future implications of free speech among children in public schools?
Read the case itself to answer the questions posed.
Your memo should be well organized. You must clearly note each question that you are responding to.
Please make sure you are not copying and pasting from your source. Most of the material should be paraphrased in your own words; verbatim quotations should make up no more than 10% of the essay. Since the purpose to is highlight and summarize key information, merely copying and pasting from the case does not accomplish this goal. Please use your own words and use quotations sparingly.
