Draft a 2500-word minimum, double-spaced
paper on a law-related topic of your choice, using at least three scholarly
sources. Analyze and explain a legal topic that is of interest to you. You must
use three scholarly sources, which are peer-reviewed journals or law reviews.
Unacceptable, non-scholarly sources are magazines, newspapers, web sites
(unless you have received approval from me), Wikipedia and anything like it,
and other popular media. If in doubt as to whether a source meets the
scholarly standard, then email me to ask. Use a recognized form of citation in
your paper, such as Chicago, MLA, or the Blue Book. You can use footnotes,
endnotes, or in-text citation. Grammar, style, and spelling will all count, in
addition to the substance of your analysis and explanation. Try to have fun by
picking a topic about which you are curious. Your paper topic and sources
must be PRE-APPROVED BY ME. Therefore, submit to Canvas three proposed
sources and your proposed topic by the designated topic-submission due date
on Canvas.
I have this interest in Griselda Blanco, Pablo Escabar, and the cowboy wars in the 80s Miami Florida and how this impacted Americans especially in the black community. I have not exactly pinpointed my topic, but I would like to talk about national security. I had a phase where I learned a lot about Griselda Blanco and how she basically started her life in Meliden Colombia as a young Momma raising her kids to becoming a drug pin queen moving thousands of cocaine into America starting in New York all the way down to Miami Florida, maybe I can talk a little more about this but I’m not sure how.
