This is the instruction she gave us.

explanation of an area not covered in class. A list of possible topics will be
provided. There must be prior approval of the topic selected.
The paper should be approximately 8
typed, single-spaced pages (double spaces between paragraphs), and will serve
to update the chosen topic in terms of recent cases and psychological and legal
writing in this area. You must reference
at least 10 research articles from peer-reviewed journals.
