through legal research. The paper should be focused on a single legal question.
You may need to search law blogs and current legal news for hot topics. For
example:

âCurrent contract issues between
athletes and agentsâ

âFraud in reality TVâ or âContract
issues with children in moviesâ

A
draft of the paper, due near midterm. This draft must be reviewed by the
Business Communication Center before being turned in. Prior to writing the paper, students need to
complete the College Writing Review program in BbLearn. This
online mini-session is an overview of the expectations college professors have
of their students in terms of writing abilities. To complete the review,
students will have to print out the online handout that accompanies the
mini-session. Then they watch the mini-session Power-Point presentation via Bb
Learn. Finally, students take the quiz at the end of the mini-session until they
receive a score of 85% or higher. Finally, bring your writing assignment to the
BCC, in room 114 for review.

paper, due near the end of the term.

A peer evaluation for your team for the draft and for the
final paper.
