суть дела(A fact pattern is basically the facts of the case–a description of the situation. A legal class in undergrad used fact patterns for our tests: it was basically a 1-2 page statement of what happened and we had to pick out the legal issues. I am in law school currently and it is what we use for our finals. I have never heard it used in regards to an actual case though. Alexander Demidov)
