Critique the decision of the case. • What is the decision of the final court in this case? What type of judgment was given? Explain. • Is the decision an accurate judicial interpretation of the constitution? Why or why not? • What judicial philosophy was employed by the majority in the opinion? • Were there concurring or dissenting opinions in the case? • Evaluate the use of past precedents in the legal rationale utilized for this judicial opinion. What was the controlling law in the decision? The critique should discuss the final decision rendered by the Court in the case, as well as the type of judgment given (e.g., summary judgment, dismissal, remand, resolution). The critique should also discuss how well the decision reflects an accurate interpretation of the Constitution, what (if any) judicial philosophy is evident in the court’s decision, and whether the decision was unanimous or contained concurrences and/or dissents. Finally, discuss any precedents invoked by the court in rendering its decision.
