WRITING ASSIGNMENT
For part one of your final exam, you are to write a thoughtful, professional response to one of the three following prompts:
1. If you could change one law that you think is unjust, wrong or ridiculous, what would it be and why? How would the world change for you and in general if this law was changed for the better? Instead of just using your opinion, be sure to support your argument with examples and logic.
2. Most of us know someone who has been involved in a court case, whether it be a civil suit, a divorce, or a criminal matter. Write about this person’s experience with the court system in as much detail as you can. You are also free to use something you personally have been through, and may conceal your identity with a pseudonym if you so choose.
3. Do you completely follow all laws? Discuss a time you’ve broken a criminal or traffic law, or at least a time you’ve thought about breaking one. Are there good reasons to break laws once in awhile? Where is your limit of what law you might consider breaking?
