- Social and legal background of the case
- Factual background of the case
- Lower court proceedings in the case
- Final appellate disposition, including issues, decisions, reasons, and separate opinions
- Factual postscript to the case
- Immediate impact of the case on the development of the law (why the case is famous and when it became so)
- Continuing importance of the case today (why it is still a leading case)
