Use a newspaper, news magazine, or the internet to find a current article related to business law to write about.

-Briefly summarize your article and include some interesting facts or highlights. Lastly, and most importantly, discuss any concerns, issues, or thoughts you have about the subject matter raised in the article. This will be done by writing an IRAC (Issue, Rule, Analysis, Conclusion) about the article.

-IRAC Basics:

1. Issue(s) - are written in the form of questions! These issues are questions one might ask regarding how the law applies to the article you have chosen.
2. Rules - are the laws/rules that the writer thinks may apply to the issues.
3. Analysis - is where the writer either proves or disproves the application of the rules. This is a major focus of the paper and presentation....critical thinking must be applied.
4. Conclusion - will take one of two approaches. First, if the court has decided the case, do you agree with the decision? Why, or why not? If the court has yet to make a decision, what do you think needs to be done, and why. There is no minimum or limitation to the length of the paper. The writer's approach is to be concise, organized, and complete in the presentation of the case.

-Please read the instructions carefully.
