Reading:
For each class, students are expected to do the assigned reading/s. I will ask you questions about the reading in class according to the call policy that is I will call on students using a random call list—once you have been called on (if you are prepared) you won’t be eligible to be called on again until I have been through the entire list. If you are not prepared it will be noted.
The reading for the class is short in terms of pages but very dense—there are cases excerpted and summarized for each chapter. The cases in the book describes as “major note cases,” whose name is in ALLCAPS in the book, are important cases which I will use as call cases in class. Each class individuals will be called do to a case briefing. That means, you should be prepared to discuss the major note case.

Once you have conducted your market research, it is not enough to .docxhopeaustin33688
Once you have conducted your market research, it is not enough to analyze and interpret the data. Often you will be expected to formally present your findings. Other times you will be expected to present your proposals for market research. While this class does not go into great detail about presentations, there are some fundamental principles that you should study and practice for the the real world. These principles were reviewed in last week's meet session and this week's readings.
You will use the following scenario to complete this assignment:
Kevin McKee is the chief marketing officer of Broadcorp Communication and is your boss. Broadcorp specializes in wireless, phone, mobile, internet and satellite services, including TV. Broadcorp offers internet at several levels of bandwidth, the best of which is quite fast. The company has a number of market strongholds. However, in an effort to increase market share, one of Broadcorp's competitors has offered a new level of bandwidth to customers in these market strongholds. The competitor's offer is very good up front--higher bandwidth than the best that Broadcorp offers and at a lower price than Broadcorp's top Internet package. Kevin McKee doesn't feel that the competitor can sustain the deal it is offering but thinks that Broadcorp should find out their customers' opinions about the services they are currently receiving. Such research, if done right, would help Broadcorp know if they should make any changes and exactly what those would be. You have been tasked to come up with a proposal for research that would help Broadcorp answer the questions it has about this situation.
Here is the scenario
1. Read and review the readings and suggestions for making effective presentations.
2. Read the scenario above and create a presentation wherein you do the following:
· identify an effective research question for this scenario and justify your thinking
· describe the research that would be required to answer the question; identify the methodology or methodologies and method or methods you would use; justify your choices
· describe the data that you would need to be satisfied that the question is answered
3. Create your marketing research presentation within the following parameters:

· Avoiding Unauthorized Practice of Law
It is widely known that utilizing paralegals is a frequent concern for practicing attorneys, especially when a paralegal’s actions may leave them performing tasks (e.g., advising on legal rights, negotiation or settlement, management of a law practice, etc.) which could result in the unauthorized practice of law. Per the American Bar Association, one must possess a law license in order to perform such tasks.
Write a five to six (5-6) page paper in which you:
1. Determine three (3) most important characteristics of an effective paralegal. Justify your response.
2. Develop at least three (3) general guidelines for conducting legal research that a new paralegal should follow on in order to ensure that the attorney for whom the paralegal works is referencing valid laws within his / her legal documents.
3. Propose two (2) strategies that a paralegal could take in order to avoid the unauthorized practice of law. Provide a rationale to support your response.
4. Compare and contrast the key differences between the activities of paralegals versus those of attorneys in preparing a case for trial.
5. Use at least two (2) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not quality as academic resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
. Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
. Analyze what paralegals do, the career choices available to paralegals, their role in the legal profession, and the need for continuing education and training.
. Examine the paralegal workplace, tasks, and functions of a paralegal and accounting procedures in the law office.
. Use technology and information resources to research issues in paralegal studies.
. Write clearly and concisely about paralegal studies using proper writing mechanics.

Introduction to the U.S. Legal System
Midterm Examination Checklist (Fall 2019)
Overview and Purpose: The midterm examination (exam) for GOVT/CRJU 2392 is scheduled
for Monday, Oct. 14, 2019. The exam is designed to assess your comprehension of important
concepts described in the course textbook (Banks and O’Brien), lectures, and in-class
discussions.
Procedure: The exam is closed book and closed notes: Students will not have access to any
resources during the exam session. Students must complete their own work and avoid looking at
their neighbors’ exam booklets. Communication with another student during the exam session
will be considered cheating, resulting in a failing grade and a report filed with appropriate
university authorities.
If possible, students should avoid bringing excess personal belongings to the exam session. All
cell phones must be placed in “silent” mode prior to beginning the exam, and all phones or any
other communicative devices (i.e. Apple Watches) should be stored away in students’ pockets,
backpacks, purses, etc. Similarly, all study aids must be stored away prior to beginning the
exam. Any use of devices during the exam session will be considered cheating and disciplinary
proceedings will be initiated.
Once a student begins the exam, that student will not be permitted to leave the room. If a student
leaves the room, the exam will be considered completed. All university and department policies
concerning cheating and academic honesty are in full effect for the exam session.
Content: Student comprehension of the material covered will be evaluated through objective
response items (20 points; multiple choice) and four short essay prompts (40 points). In the
latter section, students will have the option of choosing from a bank of pre-selected short essay
prompts drawn from textbook and in-class discussion themes. The essays students will be
required to answer are also provided at the end of the PowerPoint slides that guide class
discussions. I am providing these questions to you well in advance of the exam to allow you to
practice drafting answers that effectively communicate knowledge.
2
Content (continued):
Ultimately, students are responsible for any and all material covered in the textbook (Banks and
O’Brien) and weekly lectures/discussions. As mentioned previously, the content provided in
lecture/discussion slides emphasizes the most important, or fundamental, themes of each chapter.
While the exam will draw heavily from the lecture/discussion slides, a few exam items are designed to
assess whether students have actually read textbook chapters. This is inevitable, as our meetings do not
provide enough time to cover all legal system concepts in extreme detail. However, students should pay
particular attention to the following terms and concepts:
Civil Law Systems Common Law Systems
U.S. Institutional Structure ...
Spain v Brown and Williamson US Court of Appeals, 11th Circuit 199.docxrafbolet0
Spain v Brown and Williamson US Court of Appeals, 11th Circuit 1994
The purpose of this case is to give the student the opportunity to read a court case. This case brings out the role of the federal courts and state courts in our dual court system, and the federal preemption. It also cover important aspects of the law of warranties.

Overview and Purpose: The midterm examination (exam) for GOVT/CRJU 2392 is scheduled
for Monday, Oct. 14, 2019. The exam is designed to assess your comprehension of important
concepts described in the course textbook (Banks and O’Brien), lectures, and in-class
discussions.
Procedure: The exam is closed book and closed notes: Students will not have access to any
resources during the exam session. Students must complete their own work and avoid looking at
their neighbors’ exam booklets. Communication with another student during the exam session
will be considered cheating, resulting in a failing grade and a report filed with appropriate
university authorities.
If possible, students should avoid bringing excess personal belongings to the exam session. All
cell phones must be placed in “silent” mode prior to beginning the exam, and all phones or any
other communicative devices (i.e. Apple Watches) should be stored away in students’ pockets,
backpacks, purses, etc. Similarly, all study aids must be stored away prior to beginning the
exam. Any use of devices during the exam session will be considered cheating and disciplinary
proceedings will be initiated.
Once a student begins the exam, that student will not be permitted to leave the room. If a student
leaves the room, the exam will be considered completed. All university and department policies
concerning cheating and academic honesty are in full effect for the exam session.
Content: Student comprehension of the material covered will be evaluated through objective
response items (20 points; multiple choice) and four short essay prompts (40 points). In the
latter section, students will have the option of choosing from a bank of pre-selected short essay
prompts drawn from textbook and in-class discussion themes. The essays students will be
required to answer are also provided at the end of the PowerPoint slides that guide class
discussions. I am providing these questions to you well in advance of the exam to allow you to
practice drafting answers that effectively communicate knowledge.

Content (continued):
Ultimately, students are responsible for any and all material covered in the textbook (Banks and
O’Brien) and weekly lectures/discussions. As mentioned previously, the content provided in
lecture/discussion slides emphasizes the most important, or fundamental, themes of each chapter.
While the exam will draw heavily from the lecture/discussion slides, a few exam items are designed to
assess whether students have actually read textbook chapters. This is inevitable, as our meetings do not
provide enough time to cover all legal system concepts in extreme detail. However, students should pay
particular attention to the following terms and concepts:
Civil Law Systems Common Law Systems
U.S. Institutional Structure ...
Spain v Brown and Williamson US Court of Appeals, 11th Circuit 199.docxrafbolet0
Spain v Brown and Williamson US Court of Appeals, 11th Circuit 1994
The purpose of this case is to give the student the opportunity to read a court case. This case brings out the role of the federal courts and state courts in our dual court system, and the federal preemption. It also cover important aspects of the law of warranties.

Car Accident Injury Do I Have a Case....Knowyourright
Every year, thousands of Minnesotans are injured in car accidents. These injuries can be severe – even life-changing. Under Minnesota law, you can pursue compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.
In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

PART II
A. Course Description
This course introduces students to various theories of judicial process and canons of statutory
interpretation. The aim of the course is to enable students to understand and apply various rules
of interpretation. The course will also engage with various judicial approaches towards the use of
canons of construction and the implications of these approaches.
This course is a cross-cutting one, relevant to the understanding of statutory interpretation and
judicial process in all other law courses. The course also holds relevance for legal practice by
students in future as it aims to improve legal argumentation. Students will learn how to channel
their legal arguments through the use of rules of interpretation, thus learning how to draft good
legal memos as lawyers or write sounds judgments as judges.
The course will also engage with various aspects of legislative drafting. A study of the canons of
construction and their judicial interpretation will reveal how ambiguities in the statute create
difficulties in interpretation. Further, there are inherent limitations of the legislature and the law
making process. Aiming to develop an awareness of these limitations and an understanding of
the rules of interpretation, the course will encourage students to critically think about better ways
of drafting legislative provisions so as to give better guidance to the persons it applies to, law
enforcement officers and judges.
The various theories of judicial process and interpretation will be introduced through the study of
scholarly articles. The cannons of interpretation will be taught through a case based study. The
specific canon will be introduced followed by an examination of cases as examples of the
application of the canon. The emphasis will be on logical reasoning and the ability to apply the
canons to reach a conclusion, instead of the correctness of the conclusion.
5. 3
B. Course Aims and Intended Outcomes
The course seeks to:
1. Make students aware of the need for statutory interpretation given the imprecision of
language and impossibility of anticipating all future events.
2. Introduce students to various theories of interpretation and familiarize them with
positions of scepticism and faith in judicial process.
3. Enable students to understand and apply various canons of statutory interpretation
followed in the common law legal system.
4. Introduce students to alternative rules of interpretation such as the mimansa rules of
interpretation.
5. Introduce students to rules of interpretation under international law.
6. Develop among students the skills involved in legislative drafting.
C. Grading
Mid-semester exam: 20%. To be held in class in the mid-semester week.
Class exercise on legislation drafting: 20%. To be held in class near the end of the semester.
Students must divide themselves in groups of 3 students each for the purpose of this exercise.
Case presentation: 10%. To be held during the last three weeks of the semester. Each student will
select a case involving the use of a canon of construction and make a presentation in class.
End-semester exam: 50%.
