You will write about a legal issue involving yourself, or someone you know, or a legal issue that you know about although you don’t know the persons involved.  If none of these apply, then make up a fictional legal issue.

Regarding this issue, you should state what the issue(s) is (are), how it (they) should be resolved, and the authorities for your opinion as to how it (they) should be resolved.

If the issue or issues have been resolved, please write about whether the matter was resolved correctly and, if in your opinion it was not resolved correctly, how it should have been resolved.

The paper should be 4 – 5 pages, word-processed, double-spaced, with one inch margins and no more than 12 point font.  Use several authorities and cite to these as you write the paper.

The paper is due on November 5 before class starts. A student who demonstrates the proper amount of effort will receive 5 points added to the average of the four tests.
