- Write a 2-3 page essay demonstrating your understanding of the legal principle, protocol, or tradition that was explored in the chapter. For example, if you choose Roe v. Wade you will be exploring the use of legal fictions. In your essay you will need to:
- Clearly define the legal principle, protocol, or tradition that you are discussing. Remember many of these are also discussed in the first two chapter of CtL.
- Demonstrate in your essay that you understand the legal principle, protocol, or tradition through your analysis of the case you chose. I’m looking for your thoughts, questions, and understanding based on your reading about the case in CtL and class discussion.
