Law Homework Help

You must complete a research paper on a controversial Constitutional Law topic. Your topic was approved with your Week 2 Research Paper Proposal assignment.

Your paper should be no more than 10 pages. Here are some general guidelines when writing your paper:

1. Write an introduction, which clearly identifies the topic of your report and the issues that you seek to illuminate. The introduction should include the thesis or basis of your report, and preview your major points.

2. The body of your report should be dedicated to support your thesis statement with claims gleaned from your research (into what others have written on the topic and data that you have gathered), readings from the course text, discussions, case law and law review articles. All references need to be in Bluebook style; this means that footnotes (at the bottom of the page) are required. (NOTE: if you are not a Legal Studies student, then you may use APA style, which requires endnotes at the end of your report.) Please include at least 8 references to support your paper’s thesis statement.

You must explain the issue, analyze both side of the argument on the issue and discuss the current status of the law. You also need to discuss any current pending cases and unresolved legal questions. Finally, you will discuss how you see the law (statutory and case law) changing on this issue in the future and why.

3. Conclude your report by recapitulating your thesis and explaining in greater detail the significance of your findings. If you would like, include in your conclusion some questions or recommendations about the topic which you’ve written.
