Instruction
WHAT YOU ARE WRITING ON (FORMAT, TOPIC, ETC) HAS BEEN UPLOADED/ATTACHED!!!
Your paper should be 8 - 10 pages. Here are some general guidelines.
Please comply with Bluebook or APA citation format.
Please include in-text citations in the form of footnotes for this paper. Please compile all your sources either in APA or Bluebook format in a reference page at the end of your paper.
Again, please provide footnotes when you use your resources in the paper such as when you quote material or are using your own words based on a specific source.
To clarify, please include footnotes at the bottom of each page & include the references on a reference page at the end of the paper.
It is fine for the total paper to be at 10 pages which would include title page, abstract and references. That being said, if the paper is 10 pages in length and then another few pages with those items - that is fine too. What I'm really looking for in the paper is graduate level cohesive writing where you research and analyze primary legal sources such as case law, statutes and the US Constitution.
Guidelines for this Research Paper:
1. An introduction, which clearly identifies the topic of your paper and the issues, which you seek to illuminate. The introduction should include the thesis or basis of your paper, and a very preliminary overview of the evidence you will use to support it. Finally, the introduction should include a statement that identifies what your paper contributes to our understanding of contract law. (In other words, why is the topic of your report important?)
2. The body of your paper should be dedicated to detailed support of your thesis with claims gleaned from your research (into what others have written on the topic; data that you have gathered), readings from the course text, and/or case law, or law review articles. Please cite your references at the end of your paper, using footnotes. This is not an opinion paper, it should reflect academic argument.
3. The conclusion to your paper should recapitulate your thesis and summarize the significance of your findings.
