SHORT ANSWER

Keep jurisdiction, facts, holding, reasoning, and course context distinct, then check every statement against the original assigned source.

The key idea

A comparison table can help you see a course distinction, but only if each row names the relevant case and the source you checked.

A practical example

Draft prompts for rule, reasoning, and a distinguishing fact, then correct terminology against the assigned opinion or notes.

Keep the result checkable

This is an educational workflow, not legal advice. Check jurisdiction and legal propositions in primary sources and course guidance.
