Pieces should include a summary of the case s facts, a description of the court s holding, a positive or negative critique of the court s reasoning or holding, and reflections on the implication of the decision. Case Comments also may provide a similar description of recent national or state legislation.
Notes typically provide well-rounded analysis of a controversial or current topic.
Authors should provide background on the subject, present a theoretical or practical problem with the area of the law, analyze the debate surrounding the topic, and conclude with recommendations or an alternate perspective on the subject. Book reviews should evaluate the quality, interest, and relevance of a recent publication. Although most reviews analyze legal scholarship, reviews of other feminist scholarship or writings also may be possible. Generally, book reviews begin with an introduction that evaluates the overall effectiveness of the text. Next, the author provides a critical summary of the book s content, often using selected quotes to illustrate points.
