Write this in your own words! Submit your paper, using the Word Template, as a Word document attachment to this Assignment by the due date. Your paper will go through TurnItIn (TII) automatically on submission. If you receive a high TurnItIn score, you may need to revise and resubmit. I am not concerned about similarity relating to the form of the brief. Similarily, focus is on use of your own words rather than direct quotes from the case or other sources. Review the Turnitin report. You are permitted multiple submissions so that you can self-correct an unsatisfactory TII report and resubmit. I recommend submitting a draft ahead of the due date to test it on TII. The TII report does not have to be perfect but anything in the RED zone must be rewritten!
This Assignment does not have a formal grading rubric. Grading criteria used by your professor will include the following: mechanics (grammar, spelling, etc.) (10%), format (follow the Template) (10%), similarity (use of your own words - Turnitin report) (10%), content (accuracy, completeness and your insight of case holding, reasoning, correctness of brief sections)
