Have you looked at the book "Writing Effective Use Cases"
by Alastair Cockburn?  

Personally, I think Use Cases are over-sold, but find out
about what they can do for you before entering into that 
argument  ;-)

I favour capturing requirements in 3 distinct groups, each
in a different fashion.  Use Cases for capturing how the
Users want to interact with the system, Business Rules
or direct input into the Domain Model for capturing the 
detailed behaviour of the system, and Supplementary
Specification for capturing the Non-Functional/Technical/
Quality requirements.  Others disagree.
