BLAW 2106 “Optional” Term Paper Assignment
Your assignment is to write a memo/paper as follows:
1. Research three articles in non-daily periodicals or journals (so not a daily newspaper). The subjects shall be anything related to the class materials that we have covered throughout the semester, i.e., the law in business. Please do not use a daily newspaper or website such as NYTimes, Wall St. Journal, Washington Post, AJC, FoxNews, MSNBC, or CNN. Use “business” magazines and/or professional journals such as Harvard Business Review, Inc., or Forbes. You are not limited to just these listed. Wikipedia and Google are not journals. They may be used as starting points for your research and for additional references. See below for info on assistance from the university library.
2. Please write a description and analysis of the three articles and how they have “legal” significance. Please tie them into the content covered in this course. The three articles may be related subjects or three separate legal concepts. Do not cut and paste from the articles. It needs to be your own words reflecting your thoughts.
3. Include a Table of References using MLA or APA style format.
Please submit the paper to me as an “added file” in “Assignments” in D2L no later than the end of the posted due date. There will be no extension of that deadline without reasonable request prior to the due date. Grading will be based on content, clarity, spelling, and grammar. The minimum length is four pages (including the Table of References). Use standard-sized margins and fonts (double line-spaced). Do NOT submit the articles.
