Address the topic selected, discuss or expand on a topic presented in the textbook, a case dealing with the subject, and present your viewpoint or perspective on that item as it relates to the issue present in your chosen topic.

Law Question

For this Module, choose from the following topics as the general subject of your paper:

Presumption of innocence

Ex post facto laws

Void-for-vagueness doctrine

Right to a jury trial

While you are primarily addressing the topic selected, discuss or expand on a topic presented in the textbook, a case dealing with the subject, or a current event from the news or Internet, and present your viewpoint or perspective on that item as it relates to the issue present in your chosen topic.

There will be a total of five different reaction papers throughout the course. Each of the five reaction papers will be approximately two pages in length. The text will be double-spaced and formatted using APA format.

Students should clearly identify their topic and present their personal viewpoint or perspective; however, students must also present a factual basis for that viewpoint (as opposed to an opinion paper).
