Description / paper instructions
Prompt: The setting (space, place, and time) forms the backdrop and defines the atmosphere for a play. Settings sometimes symbolically present plot and character issues. For example, a locked door could represent an obstacle within a character’s life. At other times, the setting can limit or permit the characters’ actions. Think about the setting in the play you read. Consider these aspects: Physical space in which the story is placed (confined or open, small or large, limited to one place or not) Tips: Remember to provide evidence for your claims in the form of quoted passages from the play. Quotations, paraphrases, and summaries should be cited according to APA rules of style, including in-text and reference citations. Quoted material should not exceed 25% of the document. Glaspell, S. (1916). Trifles. In X.J. Kennedy and D. Gioia (Eds). The Literature Collection: An E-text [VitalSource digital version]. (pp. 844). Boston, MA: Pearson Use the same hypothetical case from last week: One night, Joe, an over-the-road truck driver, was driving on I-70 around 11 p.m. All of the sudden Joe noticed that there was a car in the middle of the highway with no lights on. Joe attempted to swerve at the last minute to avoid a collision but ended up clipping the corner of the passenger’s side of the back bumper of the vehicle causing it to spin. Along comes John from around a curve, sees the car and swerves missing the car entirely. However, in doing so he ran over Greg, a passenger in the vehicle, dragging him over100 feet. Greg was found dead. The coroner determined that it was most probable that Greg was dead before John ran him over. An expert in traffic accident reconstruction determined that the impact of Joe’s truck with Greg’s vehicle could have launched Greg from the car and into the road. Greg’s family, his mom, dad, 5 year-old son and the son’s mother all filed a complaint against Joe and John for wrongful death. In the discovery process you learn that the evidence will prove: John is a stock car driver and the car he was driving that night could exceed 120 mph. Joe had driven from Pennsylvania to Oregon and was driving back to Pennsylvania the night of the accident. You also learned that Joe had cheated on his log book in the last 2 year. Greg had not had a job for at least 6 months, has been in prison and had never paid child support for his 5-year-old son. Greg was close to his mom, but he has been estranged from his father for the last 2 years. Greg’s mom and dad see his 5-year-old son on a regular basis. Greg and his son’s mom were never married, nor did they live together. And don’t forget that the experts testifying in the case are the coroner and accident reconstructionist. In this assignment please draft 10 voir dire questions you would ask the jury as John’s attorney, Joe’s attorney and the plaintiffs’ attorney to determine if the juror has an unfair bias or prejudice toward the parties and/or the case. Explain your reasoning for each question. Length: 3-4 pages Your assignment should demonstrate an understanding of legal writing, as well as the differences between legal writing and academic writing. It should demonstrate thoughtful consideration, a good understanding of the substantive content, and your ability to communicate information clearly, effectively, and in an appropriate tone. Your response should reflect graduate-level writing and BLUEBOOK standards for formatting and citation. Because you are enrolled in a degree program you will be expected to use the citation methods used by the rest of the law field: The Bluebook A Uniform System of Citation. The citation of legal materials is a little different from the typical resources used in other fields of study. This tutorial provides examples of the legal materials you will encounter most frequently in your classes . Please note that all formatting issues other than citations should be in the APA Style. Please see the APA Publication Manual for further details (APA Publication Manual; 6th ed., 2010). For detailed information on how to cite legal references, please see the latest edition of The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (Bluebook; 19th ed., 2010). When citing legal materials, as long as the citation provides enough information about the cited material to allow the reader to locate the reference without regard to its format, then it is not necessary to provide the electronic information. For example, frequently cited materials—cases, constitutions, statutes, and regulations—do not usually require citation to the electronic source. By citing Konop v. Hawaiian Airlines, Inc., 302 F.3d 868 (9th Cir. 2002), it would not make any difference whether the case was retrieved on Westlaw, Findlaw, or in the actual reporter since the reader could find the case easily by using the citation provided. If the cited material is not available from multiple sources, then the citation should provide the specific electronic source to enable the reader to access it. Common Abbreviations The following table contains a list of abbreviations for legal materials most frequently used. The Bluebook contains a comprehensive section of abbreviations covering courts, cases, treaties, and other terms.
Court Decisions Citations to court decisions contain four elements: Konop v. Hawaiian Airlines, Inc., 302 F.3d 868 (9th Cir.2002).
Citations for state and federal courts include a variety of abbreviations based on the type of court and location. For example, the Supreme Court of Tennessee is abbreviated as Tenn. in the citation; however, the federal district court covering the western portion of Tennessee is cited as W.D. Tenn. The federal appellate court that would hear cases from western Tennessee is known as the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and cited as 6th Cir. Consult the Bluebook for appropriate abbreviations. If you locate a case using the textbook, Findlaw, or Westlaw Campus Research, it is likely that the citation to the case will be provided. Regulations, Statutes, and Similar Material Statutes, regulations, and similar government materials are subject to change; therefore, it is likely that the text and date that are referenced by the writer will change after a few years. For example, there are 48 titles in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs). Each title is updated annually, with groups of titles scheduled for this update on a quarterly basis. Title 15 is updated in January, while Title 19 is updated in April each year. Due to the possibility of changes to state and federal laws, regulations, and other administrative materials, it is important to note the date provided by the writer. Similar to the case citations, each state maintains abbreviations used for citing statutes, so the Bluebook should be consulted if you are unsure of the abbreviation. U.S. Code 21 U.S.C.§841(2010).
Code of Federal Regulations 19 C.F.R. §141.86 (2011).
State Statutes Fla. Stat. §765.203 (2011).
Miscellaneous
Note: These elements are not italicized or underlined, and no punctuation separates the parts.
Books and Journals The citation format of books and journals is treated differently by the stylistic guidelines of the APA and Bluebook. When taking classes in the Business Department (e.g., BUS1038, BUS2038), students should use APA 6th Edition Style. When taking classes in the Legal Studies Department (e.g., LGS 2002, LGS2004), students should use the Bluebook citation format. Dictionary
Book
Journal Article
Internet Citations for Legal Studies Students For additional information, Legal Studies students should review Rule 18 in the 19th Edition of the Bluebook for specific citations to electronic sources. In a citation to source that is available online only, include the author’s name, title, date of publication, and URL.
When citing to a print source but an online source is available and improves access to the reader, include “available at” and the URL.
