dismiss v. remand rule v. say argue v. stipulate
●Concurring and/or dissenting Opinions: very important and basis for appeal.
What to Look For When Reading a Case
A careful understanding of facts: issue-spotting skills; the starting point for any legal reasoning; An understanding of the arguments of the two parties: the role of the court is a passive and neutral
arbiter; the leading role of lawyers in a case;
An understanding of the result and reasoning of the majority opinion: a critical mind and no hurry to jump to conclusion; an evaluation of all related facts;
The possible effect and scope of the court’s decision: the problems of a rule; the ambiguity and vagueness of case decision: to know what you do not know and learn to judge problems.
How to Speed Read a Case
Step 1: Read the case name.
Step 2: Read the first paragraph or two to understand who the parties are and the issue that brought them to court. Most cases will give the procedural history, parties and issues in the first two paragraphs.
Step 3: Read the first sentence of each paragraph. By reading every topic sentence of every paragraph you should get an idea of the structure and general direction that the case is going towards.
Step 4: Read the last paragraph or two so that you understand the holding and disposition of the case.

SAMPLE BRIEF
Gray (cop) v. Martino (crime victim)
Procedural History
?Cop sues for reward money.
?District court awards money to the cop.
?Defendant appeals.
Issue
?At the time the contract was formed, was the plaintiff acting as a police officer charged with a legal duty to catch criminals without further reward? Facts
?Plaintiff makes a verbal（口头的）contract with defendant. In return for $500, plaintiff will find defendant's stolen jewels.
?Plaintiff had knowledge of whereabouts of jewels at contract formation.
?Plaintiff is a special police officer and has dealings with prosecutor's（起诉人，原告）office.
?Defendant published advertisement for reward.
?Plaintiff finds stolen goods and arranges return.
Rule of Law
? A public officer cannot demand or receive remuneration or a reward for carrying out the duty of his job as a matter of public policy and morality
?However, it is not against public policy for a police officer to receive a reward in performance of his legal duty if the legislature passes a statute giving the reward to the public at large（自由的，无目地的）in furtherance of （推动，促进）some public policy - such as preventing treason against the US.
Reasoning
?Court finds sufficient evidence to characterize this fellow as a public official. ?His interaction with the prosecutor's office weighed in as a factor in suggesting he had a legal duty.
?Since he is characterized within the rule as a public official, he cannot, as a matter of law, receive a reward for the performance of his duties.
Holding
?Court reverses decision of lower court in favor of the plaintiff since he was characterized as a public official.
Comments:
?Does Chinese police have the same obligation in theory? What about the real world situation? Compare to the Chinese law.

法律词汇:法律翻译常用词汇注释（A-W） A Ab initio Ab initio是拉丁文，其意思是“自开始之时”或“从头开始”，可以直接翻译为“自始”。在法律英语中，ab initio的使用频率较高，比较常见。如：ab initio mundi （有史以来），void ad initio（自始无效）等。 Accord accord在普通英语中的含义是符合，一致，在法律英语中则表示和解或和解协议，指指债务人和一个债权人达成的、以偿还部分债务免除全部债务责任的协议。如reach an accord达成和解协议，accord and satisfaction和解与清偿等。 Accused 被告Accused通常指刑事案件的被告，民事诉讼的被告称为Defendant；而申索案件中的被索偿的一方称为Respondent（答辩人）。 Acquire acquire在普通英语中的含义是获得，获取，而且通常指通过后天的努力获得。在法律英语中通常指对公司的购买，收购，我们通常所说的M&A，即是acquire的名词acquisition和merger的缩写。如The foreign investor has acquired more than 10 PRC domestic enterprises engaging in related industries within a year. 外国投资者一年内并购中国境内关联行业的企业超过10个。 Acquittal 罪名不成立。刑事案件经审讯后，被告罪名不成立被释放，称为“The accused is acquitted”。Acquittal是名词。详见民法中和刑法中表达不同意思的“acquit”一文。 Act act在普通英语中的含义是行动，行为，在法律英语中通常理解为作为，与不作为forbear相对应。如：Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, the Minister may, on the recommendation of the Commission, direct the Commission to act or forbear from。
