GUIDELINES:

• Properly formatted citations are required through-out the essay.
• This essay must flow coherently, connecting the “dots” coherently and logically. Transitions between paragraphs are crucial in maintaining that flow.
• Draft your response in a doc file, preferably Google Docs to ensure that it does not get lost. Submit the doc file as an attachment.
• Review the materials used from sources. Did you copy the content? Is it paraphrased? Basically, this entire essay must come from sources. None of it can possibly come from your personal, first-hand, empirical study. Therefore, each paragraph will require several citations.
• Legal studies students follow Bluebook Practitioner Rules (fully embedded citations). All other students follow APA rules (embedded in-text cites linked to an alphabetical “references” list of all sources). Refer to the CITATION files in the Student Success Folder.
• Formatting: Double-space. One-inch margins: top, bottom, left, and right. Font: Times New Roman, black, size 12.
• Proofread before final submission. Refer to WRITING files in the Student Success Folder.

• Sources (30%): All sources used must be primary authority or secondary scholarly from the FNU Library or LexisNexis. Sources obtained from any other search engine are unacceptable and will result in zero-points for the “Sources” grade.

Pay close attention to the in-text and References Page requirements of APA, or, the total embedding of citations within content when following Bluebook (remember, Bluebook does NOT allow for a “references” list to be submitted; they are not placed at the bottom of a response, at the bottom of a page, or at the end of the document).

The overall presentation of your document must be professional (remove hyperlinks, change fonts to Times New Roman, 12, black font, create a cover page, format the entire file to one-inch margins all-around.
