Research Essay Assignment: Due Nov. 30th in class time in my office RB 2043 The essay should develop and argue an understanding/point of view about the relationships between law and society. You can use a specific area of law or specific cases or legislation to explain what vision of law and society is promoted by your example. You can compare it to other approaches, and/or critique the approach, and/or propose changes to the law that might reflect what you see as a better approach. The essay should be 10 - 14 pages long. Write in paragraphs: one idea per paragraph and each idea developed, connect the paragraphs together, avoid grammar and spelling mistakes, watch your sentence structures to make sure ideas are clearly expressed. You will be marked on: writing structure; research; how well you support your ideas; how clearly your ideas are developed; and whether or not you have addressed the relationship between law and society.
