SPM 4723

Annotated Bibliography

You second major project for the course will be an annotated bibliography. Instead of writing a

paper, an annotated bibliography requires you to research a particular legal topic or question, of

your choosing, in sports and find academic and law review articles that address that topic. You

will develop a question about a legal topic in sports and find seven law review articles to

summarize. Each article summary should be 300-350 words in length and should both explain

the contents of the article and its relevance to your question or topic. The summaries should be

written in your own words. You are required to select law review articles using LexisNexis. The

format for the annotated bibliography is explained below.

Please put your topic as the title for your paper. Next, each annotation should begin with the

APA citation for the article in bold print (do not include web links), followed by a summary of

the article (300-350 words) explaining how it addresses your question. The complete annotated

bibliography should be double-spaced, 12pt Times New Roman font with one-inch margins. You

will be submitting it through Turnitin via Canvas, do not include your name, course number,

date or UFID on your annotated bibliography (similar to the case briefs). You should start each

annotation on a separate page, and please remember to begin each annotation with the APA

citation for the article as instructed above. This assignment is due on Wednesday, April 22nd.
