Constitutional law case briefs are about the interpretation and application of the United States Constitution. The p0wers given to the state and federal governments, individual rights provided by the Constitution, the United States Supreme Court decisions, and other topics are covered in constitutional law case briefs. It can be difficult applying the Constitution, written over 200 years ago, to the legal problems and questions of today. The US Supreme Court plays a large role in these case briefs.
