Week 5
Final Paper
The
Final Research Paper should
address a topic that is connected to the content of this course (elements and
requirements of a valid contract; issues related to real and personal property;
intellectual property; employment law; and/or, international law and the global
marketplace.) This paper should focus on a legal issue or situation that
relates to a business environment or activity with a focus on the legal impact
technology has on this issue. Ideally, this topic would concern a matter that
you have experienced or that you have knowledge of; however, this not a
requirement, only a suggestion. Apply the legal concepts and ethical
considerations discussed in this course to your chosen topic. At a minimum this
paper should include:
A detailed description of the topic.
An analytical discussion of the legal issues that are involved.
This would entail examining the issue from different viewpoints.
A discussion of ethical considerations (Remember: What is legal
may not be ethical).
A discussion of the legal impact technology has on this issue.
A well defined and logically stated argument to support your
position. This would include any suggestion or ideas for improvement in this
area of law.
Four research sources, two of which must be from the Ashford
Library.
The paper also needs to meet the writing requirements that are
set out below under âWriting the Final Research Paper
