Term Paper Instructions For this paper, you will write a paper comparing and contrasting the decision making, judicial philosophy, their relations with other Justices, and cases authored of two members of the U.S. Supreme Court, one of which must have been one of the primary Justices from The Brethren, and the other being a member of the Court covered in The Nine. For this paper, you will want to bring in material from the three books assigned in class, but also you will do some outside research about the Justices that you choose, including discussion from at least one of each of the justices’ cases in which they authored a majority, concurring, or dissenting opinion. This paper should be a minimum of 6 pages, double spaced (do NOT add an additional space between paragraphs to make it look longer- I will notice) with standard margins and 12-point font size. The cover page does not count, nor does adding your name and other headings at the beginning to make it look longer than it is. The six pages start when your first paragraph starts. I will factor these things in if students do these things to try to make their paper look longer than it really is. Papers that are not the minimum will see their grade deducted. The works cited page also does NOT count towards the page minimum. You may use any recognized academic citation method. However, you must have a separate works cited page (this does not count towards the page limits). Papers should be properly proofread, and those with bad grammar (including those that do not use proper nouns correctly, will be penalized. Papers that do not reach six papers will have points deducted, and remember that tricks like adding spaces between paragraphs and such will be noticed and I will cut them out to see what the true length of the paper really is. Please submit your paper ONLY as a word file or PDF As far as sources, you should have cited at least the following: 1) Each of the three books assigned from the course; 2) At least one case from each Justice you chose (this cannot be the same case for both Justices, but you can choose cases that are on the same issue) at minimum at least one case from each Justice should be from The Brethren and The Nine; 3) At least three other sources outside those in items #1 and #2. To make things easier, I have attached a list of the justices that you may choose from each of the books. You may NOT choose the same justice for each book List of Justices for Each Book Remember, you cannot pick the same Justice for your two Justices. It has to be a different Justice from each list. If you choose a member of the Court that appears in both lists, please only focus on the materials for the book you are choosing them from.
