U.S. v. Richards (2014), 7th Circuit Case Study Essay should be double spaced with 12-point font and one-inch margins and four-to-six pages in length. Must contain a cover page and a “Works Cited” or “Bibliography” page. The 4-to-6 page limit DOES NOT INCLUDE the cover page and “Works Cited” page. Essay should contain the following information: 1. A cover page containing your name, the course name and number (CRIJ 5312 - Constitutional Law for Criminal Justice), the semester and year of enrollment, the case name and year of the case you will be examining in your essay. (Example: Cohen v. California, 1971). Failure to provide a cover page will result in an automatic zero on the assignment. 2. A very brief summary of the facts of the case (no more than one paragraph consisting of three-to-five sentences). 3. A brief statement (one or two sentences) about the question(s) of law before the court. 4. A brief statement (one or two sentences) about the ruling(s) on the question(s) of law. 5. An in-depth discussion about the impact of the Court’s ruling; controversies surrounding the case; and scholarly discussions about the case. In addition to your textbook, make sure to cite at least one objective news source and two scholarly articles on the case you have selected. Remember: Any citation of Wikipedia or any Wiki-source will result in an automatic zero on the assignment. 6. A "Works Cited" or "Bibliography" page setting forth the complete citations of each of the sources you cited in the body of your essay. Failure to cite sources in both the body of the essay and at the conclusion of the essay will result in an automatic zero on the assignment. Citation of a source in the "Works Cited" or "Bibliography" that is NOT properly cited in the body of the essay will result in an automatic zero on the assignment. Likewise, citation of a source in the body of the essay but not fully cited in the "Works Cited" or "Bibliography" will result in an automatic zero on the assignment. Citations: You must cite your sources both within the body of your essay and at the conclusion of your essay. An example of citation of written sources within your essay is: Studies indicate American’s trust in government substantially increased after the 9/11 terrorist attacks (Ginsberg, et.al., p. 6). An example of citations at the conclusion of your post (“Works Cited) is: Ginsberg, Lowi, Weir, We the People, 9th ed., Texas ed., New York: W. W. Norton, 2013.
