Eric Posner, The case against human rights. Thursday December 4, 2014 (The Guardian) https://www.theguardian.com/news/2014/dec/04/-sp-case-against-human-rights

Please read the course role first then write an essay.

Your paper has two missions:

Part I: to summarize an author's or authors' main ideas and

Part II: to respond to their main ideas with reaction

1. In your own words, begin the paper by summarizing the course reading(s) you've chosen (200-300 words).

2. Discuss the significance of each course reading(s) (200-300 words).

3: What are some of the key takeaways (i.e., lessons you learned) from the course

reading(s) (200 words). Be sure to reference concepts, examples, and cases from the readings in your papers.

You must demonstrate that you have done the course reading in order to do well in the assignment.

1. Clear and coherent statements

2. Citations can be in any style (i.e., APA, Chicago, but the format must be used consistently)

3: Well organized, strong analytic skills and writing skills

General Elements of Effective Socio-Legal Writing:

1. Good writing is clear and precise. Write so that you make clear and precise what you mean.

2. Socio-legal focused thinking is grounded in the use of supporting arguments/evidence. Please use specific examples to make your points clear, so as to demonstrate that you know how to clarify your thoughts as a socio-legal scholar. Give relevant examples and illustrations that are focused on the argument you are advancing.

3. Good socio-legal focused thinking is logical. Make clear statements with appropriate transitional words and critical vocabulary to demonstrate that you understand the structure of your own reasoning. Make clear the logical relations between the sentences and paragraphs that you write.

4. Socio-legal thinking is analytic. Employ key concepts to demonstrate conceptual analysis. Use key concepts in your written work wherever appropriate.

5. Socio-legal thinking is always focused on clear socio-legal questions. Clarify the questions and or issues you are focusing on and stick to them throughout the written piece. Show how each point you make is relevant to the questions/issues you are pursuing.

6. Good socio-legal thinking is about sufficient analysis. Show in your writing that you have considered a variety of reasonable ways of looking at the issue.

Do not over-quote: a quotation is not a substitute for your own analysis. I would recommend a maximum of 2 quotes, no longer than 2 lines each (if your quote is longer than four lines, you must treat it as an extended quote that is indented, etc.)

Popular websites are not acceptable 'sources' for this assignment. Do not simply "google" articles as they are most often not academic sources, but popular internet articles, or articles from "think tanks" that are not peer reviewed.

Thanks
