3. Outline your position on the issue(s):
Note: The outline should contain the basic facts relevant to the issue, your contentions, and the cases/authorities that you rely upon to support your contentions. No particular order or format is necessary. You may write as much or as little as you think appropriate, but keep in mind that the members of this committee will receive no materials other than this form. Therefore, do not ask them to see attached materials.
If the issues are unrelated, please make separate outlines for each issue.
You may reverse the order of question 2 and 3 if it makes the case easier to present.

4. Outline the adverse position on the issue(s):
Note: See the last note. You do not need to duplicate facts contained there. If a ruling has been issued against your position, please summarize the court's reasoning. Please be sure to indicate any contentions that the issue is waived, moot, harmless error, etc.

5. What is the current status of your case?
Note: Here show the stage of litigation (e.g., in the Supreme Court, petitioning for certiorari to the Supreme Court, motion for reconsideration in the Court of Appeals, appeal just docketed in Court of Appeals, motion for summary judgment granted by trial court, etc.) and any current deadlines (e.g., appellant's brief due on July 1, oral argument scheduled for September 1). If an opinion has been issued in your case by an appellate court, please give the official citation, if available, or if not, the case number and date of decision and any citations to unofficial sources.

6. Why should the GTLA Amicus Curiae Committee submit an Amicus Curiae brief in favor of your position? Note: The answer may be obvious from your previous answers. If it is not obvious, this is the place to make it obvious.
