The topic is: Jesuit Law-the rules of the Society of Jesus. And give example of how a legal system in a Christian University works. Choose one of the USA University.
The Prof instructions which must be FOLLOWED:
There are at least four sorts of paper that I would consider appropriate.
1. A paper on a legal system very different from ours that has not been covered in the course. It should include a bibliography with adequate references on that system, an explanation of how it worked, and some discussion of why it had the characteristics it had-what function at least some of its legal rules served. Some of the legal systems we will be studying originally entered the course as such papers.
2. A paper on one of the systems covered that goes into more depth than my chapter. That means finding additional sources and mining them. It might also mean arguing that some of my description and/or analysis was wrong-with evidence to support the argument.
3. A paper that looks at one or more legal issues running through a variety of different legal systems, analogous to the thread chapters in my current book draft. Obviously the paper has to go well beyond what we cover in the class discussion.
4. A paper using ideas from the systems we have covered to suggest, explain, and defend substantial modifications to our legal system.
To help students who want to do the first sort of paper, which is what most papers in past years have been, some possible places to look are:
The anthropological literature on primitive societies. One good source is E. Adamson Hoebel, The Law of Primitive Man, Harvard University Press, 1967.
The literature on legal history. Obvious possibilities are Anglo-Saxon law, Ottoman law ... .
The literature on non-state mechanisms for dispute settlement. Lisa Bernstein at the University of Chicago has done a good deal of work on modern arbitration, for instance.
The literature on western mining camps, which established their own legal systems, and on the Vigilantes.
One possible starting point is to consider what in your background gives you particularly good access to information on some legal system past or present, formal or informal. Did you grow up in the Church of Latter Day Saints? Are you fluent in Vietnamese? Did you have family members involved in organized crime? All three of those, as it happens, are real examples from past years.
If you want to go further afield, you could consider whether the observed behavior of any non-human species comes close enough to a legal system to be worth a paper. An interesting starting point, although not, I think, an adequate one, might be Chimpanzee Politics by Frans De Waal. Or you could look at Konrad Lorenz's books on animal behavior. Or you could try to analyze a fictional legal system, if you can find one that is sufficiently well described.
My paper should be a minimum of 8 pages.
Please use 12-point Times New Roman as your font for all type in your text (8 point for footnotes).
Please double space pages with 1-inch margins.
Indent the first line of each paragraph using a tab, not the space bar.
Please do not insert an extra line of space between each paragraph.
(Footnotes should be in "Blue Book" format and do not count toward your overall word count)(important)
