You should be able to get a single rule from a case. Our torts professor recommended that we think of issues and holdings/rules in both as narrow and as broad terms as possible. Then read on to see how the note cases or other major cases expand, limit, or change the rule. That's sort of how I put it together. Although I haven't really done too much of this (on paper that is) because I haven't started outlining.
