After you have found legal authority (either statutory or case law), that law will need to be applied to your case. This process involves locating the issues in cases that are similar to your case and issues that are dissimilar. For each issue that is similar, you will need to explain how the issues in the other case are similar to the issues in your case. Additionally, you will need to show why they are similar enough that the court should follow the other case.
For all of the issues that are dissimilar, you will need to go back to the case law and statutes to find law that supports your propositions. That law will have to be shepardized and then the law will have to be applied to your case. This process should be repeated until you can make an argument based on legal authorities that a judge would be willing to follow.
