Please post your mini cases in the assignments section.
Answer format:

1. Restate the question or situation in a “question format” or a “description format.”
2. Don’t assume that the reader knows anything about the situation, subject, or how it relates to the law.
3. It is best to relate or base your conclusions on the law. Be sure to use outside sources and remember to reference those sources. The more sources the better.
4. Opinions are welcome and encouraged but opinions do not replace suggestion #3.
5. It is more important that you try and draw your conclusions from relationships between the situation and your interpretation of the law than worry that whether or not your conclusion/answer is right or wrong. Provide references to all researched material.
6. Give thorough answers to the questions. Your answers should be more than one or two sentences! They should be several pages!!!
7. Double spacing is preferred.
8. The more pages the better.
