Abstract
This analysis of the effectiveness of the case method provides five reasons why the case study method is useful. The paper explains that case studies provide a qualitative viewpoint and a way to digest complex ideas and they offer a vehicle to make abstract complex real. The paper asserts that case studies are useful as a team building tool and they are also used for evaluating policies, programs, and methods. The paper notes that as with any analytical methodology, case studies are only useful if they are well prepared.

From the Paper
"The Case Method is a type of analytical method used as a teaching tool and as a way to evaluate general topics. The approach involves reviewing and analyzing one situation. Lessons derived from that one situation are then applied to a larger context. In theory, many useful general lessons may be learned about the topic at hand. In practice, case studies sometimes fall short of their intended objectives. The United States General Accounting Office (1990) offers a complex definition of a case study: "A case study is a method for learning about a complex instance, based on a comprehensive understanding of that instance obtained by extensive...""

Abstract
This paper is written in response to the important decisions which were handed down by the Supreme Court in Brewer v. Williams, regarding the disappearance of ten year old Pamela Powers in Des Moines, Iowa. It presents an overview of the case, including the question which the Court was prompted to answer, the facts of the case and the rational the Court used in deciding the way in which it did. The paper looks at prior cases involving the right to counsel, as well as cases following the Brewer decision, and an argument as to why this case is of a significant benefit to American Law.

From the Paper
"In order to understand how the Court reached its ruling, it's important to understand some of the significant cases prior to Williams. In Massiah v. United States 377 U.S. 201 (1964) the Supreme Court ruled that once a suspect has been indicted and retains a lawyer, the police cannot (through any means) try to illicit incriminating statements from the suspect, in order to use at trial; thus, it was a direct violation of Massiah's Right to Counsel. In Miranda v. Arizona 384 U.S. 436 (1966) the Court held that if there is a determination that a suspect is deprived of movement in a significant way, and is also being interrogated, he must be informed of his rights prior to questioning."

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Wilma Beard cites the principle developed by Colorado Governor, Richard Lamm, agreeing that "keeping terminally ill patients alive by artificial means, at enormous expense to the public, is wicked." If she had known what was to come, Mrs. Beard says she would have signed a 'living will' under Texas Natural Death Act of 1977 with her husband. She feels as if Elmer is trapped in a hopeless, vegetative state from which he cannot escape, arguing that keeping him breathing on a machine is nothing less than torture. Concordantly, as his wife of 50 years, Mrs. Beard feels she is also trapped in a helpless state, bringing her much misery and pain."

Abstract
This is a paper examines a health assessment of an elderly individual, including the choice of assessment tools, and the outcome and case presentation. Here, a 78 year old male with type two diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and high cholesterol presented for a wound that did not heal properly. The assessment and decision for case management and the presentation on case management was based on the Neumann Systems Model which is a holistically based model calling for an interdisciplinary team.

From the Paper
"Case Management and the Elderly: Case management is rapidly becoming a requirement for the growing population of elderly individuals who experience a chronic or debilitating health issue. This paper presents a comprehensive assessment of a 78 year old male diabetic patient who presented to a community clinic setting for problems related to a wound that was not healing properly and discusses the various assessments used and the role of case management. The case presentation will incorporate the comprehensive nature of health assessment requirements for the elderly consistent with the holistic nature of the Neumann Systems Model. Based on the case presentation, the need for a case manager and the development of a multi-disciplinary team of healthcare professionals in the community health setting are required. Plans for follow-up and continuity of care are provided as are schedules and type of monitoring and future evaluations."

Abstract
This paper summarizes the case of gender discrimination by the British Columbia Ministry of Forestry against Tawney Meiorin. The paper explains that Ms. Meiorin was a firefighter who was dismissed after failing to pass an aerobic test as part of a physical fitness test for continued employment. The paper discusses how the Supreme Court of Canada used the case to revise the existing bifurcated series of two part tests for discrimination for a single three part test. The second part of this paper addresses the aspects of workplace discrimination and equal participation in the workplace by women not addressed by this case.

Abstract
The paper discusses how the case study "Fred Cummings - Physical Contact - Threatening of Management Personnel" represents an interesting subject for grievance analysis as it relates to an incident that occurred outside of the workplace and work hours and, as such, is not obviously connected to the collective agreement. With respect to this case which has been brought forward for arbitration, this paper explores the definition of the issue brought to arbitration, the facts in the case, and the position of each of the parties with reference to current scholarship on industrial relations. It is argued that, on balance and in the context of Canadian law, an arbitrator will likely rule in favour of the Company in this grievance.

Abstract
This paper develops a case study that applies family therapy theory to a special needs problem, in this case Alzheimer's disease. First, the extent of the family problem is discussed, including demographics such as race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexual orientation, illness, economics, environment, religion, and social supports. Next, one theoretical model is chosen for this case and the reasons for this choice are explained. A definition of this theory is then offered, followed by a discussion and application of interviewing and counseling skills. Three specific uses for this theory are then applied and, finally, the impact of relevant health-care policy is examined.

From the Paper
"Alzheimer's disease is perhaps one of the most difficult chronic illnesses to cope with, not only for the individual suffering from the malady, but for family and loved ones, as well. This occurs mainly because the family has a sense that they have lost their loved one even before that person has died, due to the dementia that the disease brings. In a journal article for Family and Community Health, Clark and Standard (1996) note that "Although it is commonly believed that US society typically abandons its elders to extended care facilities, studies show that it is the family that usually bears primary responsibility for care of chronically ill and dependent elders." This is precisely the type of case on which this paper will focus. The family in question is providing care for their loved one, but the burden and stress are becoming overbearing."

Abstract
The paper asserts that while it has been alleged that the case method is a waste of time, this allegation is untrue. On the contrary, the paper argues that the case method is a valuable method of study, and encourages active learning. This paper proves this point by investigating and evaluating the case method technique.

From the Paper
"It has been alleged that the case method is a waste of time. However, this essay will argue that this allegation is untrue. On the contrary, the case method is a valuable method of study, and encourages active learning. This essay will prove this point by investigating and evaluating the case method technique. As will be shown, the case method is an excellent way to prepare students for successful careers in the real life business world, as it offers an excellent way to teach vital business skills such as problem solving, decision making, leadership, communication and team work. It is first necessary to investigate the case method. This method requires..."
