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.
·
A finalrevised
paper, due near the end of the term.
·
A peer evaluation for your team for the draft and for the
final paper.

Specifications

Legal
arguments or analyses often take the form of IRAC –
Issue/Rule/Analysis/Conclusion. This is
a good format to use in your paper. Each
paper will be a little different depending on the topic and the specific
question to be answered. All papers should
have the following:

1)
An introduction
2)
A statement of the question to be addressed (Issue)
3)
Background facts on the issue
4)
A statement of the law in the area (Rule)
a.
Key cases
b.
Law review commentary
5)
An analysis of the law (Analysis)
a.
Set forth the different arguments for interpreting the law
differently
b.
Apply the law as discussed above to the facts of the
situation
6)
A conclusion

The
order of those sections should make sense to the reader and should develop and
explain the situation. Internal headings
are always helpful.

The
final paper should read as if one person wrote it. It should be at least 15 double-spaced
pages.
