Often for a rule statement to be effective, the rule statement must synthesize a principle from the body of case law which is relevant to the issue at hand.13 Many legal research and writing professors agree that legal synthesis is the âbackbone of basic legal analysisâ14 and one of the vital skills necessary to be a successful lawyer.15
Purpura occurs when small blood vessels burst, causing blood to pool under the skin. This can create purple spots on the skin that range in size from small dots to large patches. Purpura spots are generally benign, but may indicate a more serious medical condition, such as a blood clotting disorder.
Although the capillaries, arterioles, and venules of the skin are most commonly affected in purpura hemorrhagica, antigen-antibody complexes can also settle in a variety of organs (e.g., the lungs, kidneys, and liver), the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, or skeletal muscle and can cause vascular inflammation and hemorrhage.
