FOURTH WRITING ASSIGNMENT

For our final writing assignment, I would like you to think about everything we have learned this

semester.

I have attempted to make the point that without the rule of law, business as we know it could not

function.

Our economy depends on the rule of law.

As a general proposition, I think our legal system functions reasonably well. There are very

good aspects, and there is also much room for improvement.

Considering everything we have learned this semester, please submit a paper addressing the

following questions:

1. What do you believe is the single most important aspect of the American legal system with

respect to business? Why?

2. What aspect of this legal system, again with respect to business, could most be improved?

Why?

The topics you select may be as broad or as narrow as you would like. What I want to see from

this paper is that you have understood important topics we have studied this semester, and can

analyze their practical importance.

The paper is due on December 13, by 11:59 pm. It must be submitted via TurnItIn on Canvas. It

is worth 25 points depending on quality and analysis. It should be between two and three pages

long. It must be double spaced, with twelve-point Times New Roman font.
