This is a two component research memorandum assignment distributed as the culminating paper for
a 3 credit Advanced Legal Research course. The Research Memo assignment requires students to
document their research process, including a comprehensive list of resources consulted, and then
draft a 3-5 page research memorandum analyzing and applying the law to their factual scenario. The
grading rubrics serve as assessment tools for evaluating and grading the research notes and memos.
