2. Dan Davis has been arrested, tried and convicted in Federal
District Court of stabbing his wife with a knife after finding her
“in bed” with his sister. While he was stabbing her, he called
her numerous derogatory names which made reference to her
new found sexual orientation.
Dan was convicted pursuant to a United States statute known as
the Violence Against Women Act, which prohibited violence

against women in any state or territory of the United States. He
was sentenced to twenty years in federal prison under a section
of the statute that allowed for a double sentence if the actions of
the defendant were found to constitute a “hate crime”.
1. Present the legal arguments for the defense that the
conviction and sentence should be overturned on appeal.

conviction and sentence should be upheld on appeal

3. Peter Peters was injured on the property of Simmons Ski
Resort when he was thrown from a chair lift he was riding to the
top of the mountain. His intention was to snow-shoe down a
walking trail on the mountain. There is evidence that the chair
lift operator was flirting with his fashion model girlfriend while
he was operating the chair lift. All lift tickets issued by
Simmons state that the ski resort will not be liable for any
injuries sustained by guests of the resort. There is also a statute
in Vermont, the state where Simmons is located, that prohibits
lawsuits against a ski resort for injuries caused by the risks
inherent in skiing.

pornography” and “obscene material” on his personal laptop.

viewing the material in his dorm room and complained to the

Dean of Students at the state university they both attend.
Darwin was immediately expelled and escorted from campus.
His laptop was confiscated by security and turned over to the
State’s Federal Prosecutor. He was charged with violating
federal law against possessing “child pornography” and
“obscene” material.

1. Computer generated animated images of children engaged in
sexual behavior; and
2. Video images of real adults engaged in explicit sex acts.

Your Full Name
Course Number and Name (As it appears on your Course
Guide.)
Professor’s Name (As it appears on your Course Guide.)
University Name (As it appears on the Course Guide.)
Date (Month must be spelled out. Use the date that the paper is
due.)
NOTE: This is your title page for the research paper in APA
style. YOUR RUNNING HEAD IN ALL CAPS (a shortened
version of your title no more than 50 characters). Be sure to
type the words, Running head: and then place your shortened
version of your title in all caps.Subheadings in the paper will
derive from your brainstorming/prewriting research questions
that are formed into phrases. Subheadings (for level one) are
centered and bold. Always capitalize the important words in all
subheadings including the title of the paper. You will more than
likely have 5 to 7 subheadings. The entire paper must be
double-spaced using size 12 font Times New Roman style.
Abstract
Your abstract starts here. Summarize your project in 150-250

words. Tell what stance you are taking on the topic and how you
will provide evidence. Tell how you will argue the point. Avoid
using contractions and 1st and 2nd person pronouns throughout
the entire paper. First and second person pronouns include the
following: I, me, my, myself, mine, we, us, our, ours,
ourselves, you, your, yours, yourself, and yourselves. (NOTE:
Although APA requires this page to be single spaced, and not
indented, your professor may have other requirements).
The word, Abstract is centered in bold.
Title of Paper Here
Your Subheading for the Introduction Here
The above subheading should consist of a phrase, not a
complete sentence. You must write using correct grammar,
punctuation, and APA format (proper in-text citations). Briefly
describe what your paper will entail. Give a brief background
of the topic. Although the thesis statement should be in your
introduction, it should not be the first sentence. The thesis
statement is the controlling idea of your paper. The thesis
statement is usually only one sentence. According to Raimes
(2008), your thesis can be any of the following: 1.)
“a strong, thought-provoking, or controversial statement—for
example, a sentence that says, Bilingual education has not
fulfilled its early promise; 2.) a call to action—for example, a
sentence that says, Inner-city schools should set up bilingual
programs; 3.) a question that will be answered in detail in the
essay—for example, a sentence that says, What can bilingual
education accomplish for a child? It can lead to academic and
personal development; and 4.) a preview or reflection of the
structure of the essay—for example, a sentence that says,
Bilingual education suffers from two main problems: a shortage
of trained teachers and a lack of parental involvement” (p. 20).

“Identify your specific topic, and then define, limit, and narrow
it to one issue. Provide relevant historical data. Discuss a few
key sources that touch on your specific issue”
("Research and writing," 2008, p. 337).
“The point of a research paper is to explore or resolve a
problem, so identify and explain the complications you see.
Within the first few paragraphs, use your thesis sentence to
establish the direction of the study and to point your readers
toward your
eventual conclusions” ("Research and writing," 2008, p. 337).
Avoid using contractions as well as first and second person
pronouns in the entire paper. The introduction is usually 100-
200 words.
Your Subheading Here
Start typing here. The above subheading should consist of a
phrase, not a complete sentence. The discussion/body of the
research paper is here. You should have multiple subheadings
here to break up the sections, and they should be in APA style
format (proper use of in-text citations). Each paragraph should
contain approximately 3-5 well-developed sentences.
Present topic information and critically analyze what the author
is trying to say about the topic (Maimon, Peritz, & Yancey,
2010). “Classify the major issues of the study and provide a
careful analysis of each in defense on your thesis. Provide well-
reasoned statements that appear at the beginning of your
paragraphs, and supply evidence of support with proper
documentation” ("Research and writing," 2008, p. 344).
“Offer a variety of development to compare, show process,
narrate the history of the subject, show causes, and so forth”
("Research and writing," 2008, p. 344). Analyze the information

the source presents, and avoid using contractions as well as first
and second person pronouns in the entire paper; include proper
use of in-text citations (Raimes, 2008).

Your Subheading for the Conclusion Here
Note that your conclusion is not labeled conclusion for the
subheading. It should be entitled a series of words that help
bring your paper to a close. Never begin a concluding paragraph
with the words, in conclusion. Your reworded thesis should
appear somewhere in the conclusion. “Frame your paper by
reminding readers of something you referred to in your
introduction and by reminding readers of your thesis. End on a
strong note: a quotation, a question, a suggestion, a reference to
an anecdote in the introduction, a humorous insightful comment,
a call to action, or a look at the future. Leave readers with a
sense of completion of the point you are making.” (Raimes,
2008, p. 38-39). Raimes (2008) indicates that you should
never introduce new information in the conclusion of your
paper. Note: There should be multiple subheadings and in-text

citations throughout your paper. Subheadings should consist of
phrases, not complete sentences.
