This course is designed to integrate and apply the knowledge and skills developed across the legal studies program. Students will engage in an advanced research project that culminates in the drafting of a comprehensive legal memo or brief. Also, students will have to present an oral presentation of this project. This project will require students to demonstrate proficiency in legal research, analysis, and writing, while also synthesizing core principles from the program's previous courses, including contract law, criminal law, constitutional law, torts, and administrative law. Through this final assignment, students will measure their ability to address complex legal issues, apply legal doctrines, formulate and deliver persuasive oral arguments. The course serves as a culminating assessment of the program's learning outcomes and prepares students for professional legal practice or further academic pursuits.
