Assignment: Abstract

The next assignment is to write an abstract for your paper. I know your paper is not completed yet, but it can be helpful to have an abstract as an elevator pitch for people who are curious.

A good guide to writing abstracts is online here, courtesy of UNC Chapel Hill. You can find others kicking around. The book by Volokh (recommended for you as you continue your legal career) contains a section on writing abstracts.

Format:

Single page, consisting of:
  • Heading, with your name, date and course title
  • Abstract, consisting of 200 words (max) that describe your paper.
Due date is March 19th.
