THESIS/ULW Requirements Generally
Each student must complete a substantial paper that, in the judgment of the reviewing professor:
Reflects substantial, thorough legal research;
Describes the status of the existing law;
Reflects competent clarity, organization, style, editing, and citation; and
Includes substantial, original, and competent analysis that evaluates the law and contributes to the discipline (e.g., a scholarly article, an amicus brief, or a practitioner’s guide, etc.).
Other Requirements
In addition to the above requirements:
The document must be no less than 5,000 words of text, exclusive of footnotes and endnotes; the paper requires at least 25 citations. The Citations should be in “bluebook” style.
The course is a constitutional law course.
In my rough draft/outline of the paper the professor provided feedback such as needing better citations, such as case law, state statutes, and academic sources. I also did not put any footnotes in my paper but tried to organize the sources at the bottom that i used in relation to the structure of the paper. for example sources under 1 used for body under 1. Additionally, the professor suggested to narrow the scope of my paper “You are out hunting the dog”.
Perhaps it is possible to include a 14th amendment equal protection or privileges and immunities analysis. I hope that helps.
