The goal for this reflection essay is for you to write your opinion on the value of legal research, analysis, and writing toyour chosen concentration in the Legal Studies degree program, especially within the context of your intended future role within the legal professional community. In this paper, you get the opportunity to write your point of view on this topic and support it with good-quality resources.

This assignment focuses on two themes:

• Show your understanding of the knowledge you acquired throughout your studies.
• Demonstrate your ability to employ traditional legal research and analysis as you explain whether the legal research, analysis, and writing skills (including the use of the Bluebook citation style) that you are using to write this essay apply to conducting practical legal work now, in the 21st century.
  • To do this well, you must think critically about:
    • The traditional legal research, analytical, and/or writing processes,
    • The Bluebook’s purposes and
    • How does your chosen concentration relate to these processes and/or the Bluebook?

The best part is that there is no wrong answer! This paper will present your opinion, and as such, it is your job to express your thoughts comprehensibly and clearly for all readers. Please write your thoughts freely, without worrying about what you think I want to see. But do support them with solid resources.

To get started: After you finish this week’s readings, it will be time to brainstorm. Some simple brainstorming techniques for writing reflection papers can involve you answering some or all of the basic questions below:

• How did what you learned this week affect you?
• Did your understanding and comprehension of legal research, analysis, and writing change your mind about something? If so, how?
• Has this week’s topic left you with any questions? If so, what are they?
• Were there any unaddressed critical issues not covered by the material on legal research, analysis, and writing?
• How will what you learned this week impact your future in the legal professional world?

Technical Requirements:

• Your paper must be at least 2 pages long and no more than three pages; it must be uniformly double-spaced. Therefore, clear and concise writing is vital.
