...Assignment Questions Introduction Students may be concerned that writing and referencing a law academic paper is ‘different’ to other types of academic papers. This is not correct except that perhaps the level of analysis required may be greater and more reliance on primary sources (e.g. precedent cases and legislation) and secondary sources (textbooks, articles) may be required. But the basic fundamentals are still the same: a well-structured piece of work that leads the reader through a discussion of a particular problem or issue. There should be an introduction, a body and a conclusion. Inevitably, either you will be required to put up arguments for hypothetical parties dealing with a hypothetical business problem or you may be asked for your view about a particular legal issue. It is essential that you base your arguments and views on legal principles and cases and thus reliance on what others have written is necessary. This guide attempts to provide you with some assistance in writing and referencing law academic papers. Some basic resource materials are also noted. [NB: This guide is a starting point only.] There are two types of Law Academic Papers Students who take the Business Law Major will inevitably be expected, at some stage, to answer at least two different styles of legal questions: legal case studies and essays. Legal case studies These are questions based on a set of hypothetical facts. The purpose of legal case study questions is both...

...Introduction The following case study provides an analysis of central idea of consideration and when the contract is enforceable because the agreement lacks consideration. In addition, discussion of multiple sources of law such as common law and the Uniform Commercial Code will summarize the difference between those sources and help to determine which one is applicable in the reviewed case study. Case Study As a recap of the facts, Jinsoo Kim invested about $170,000 into two companies part-owned and operated by Stephen Son who was not personally liable for the debts of the companies because of their corporate status. The companies eventually went out of business causing Kim to lose his investment. This fact made Son feel guilty who signed a contract in blood in Kim’s presence stating that all debts would be repaid back to Kim in exchange for Kim’s agreement not to sue Son for the money owed. At a later time, Son refused to pay Kim back and Kim sued Son to enforce the contract. The outcome of the lawsuit was that the contract was not endorsable because there had been no consideration (Beatty, Samuelson & Bredeson, 2008). To determine a presence of consideration, we need to remember that “contracts must be a two-way street” (Beatty, Samuelson & Bredeson, 2008, p. 163). Therefore, we need to review the following three rules of consideration: 1) Both parties must gain something valuable from the contract; 2) there should be a promise to give something valuable; 3) both parties...

...Introduction The pure origin of law was founded on the rudimentary platform of customs, or what H. L. A. Hart describes it as “rules of obligation”. It forms the essence of the framework of order within a society. He stated the conditions required for the existence and effective implication of an “obligation” in a society would be the introduction of constrictions on the actions of its citizens and those who oppose the idea of it constitutes the minority of the population. This would effectively conjure social pressure for people to adhere to the rules. This has worked well in primitive societies. However, home to many societies bearing differing culture and religious practices, the sources of law of a modern nation does not simply come from the amalgamation of legally binding customs from respective societies as a solitary and direct source. By far, the law has been compounded, overruled, refined and developed over past centuries under the influences of historical, economical and social events. As such, the sources of law in a developed nation of UK today would involve common law and statutes as the leading sources, supplemented by delegated legislation, academic doctrines, customs, constitution, transnational and European Law. The Ius Commune In 1066, William the conqueror emerged victorious in the Battle of Hastings and became King of England. He unified counties with disparate customary practices into a national legal system, giving birth to common law. The word “common”...

The cyber-crime may be done by using computer only, but this crime may be done very easily by using internet. Cyber crime or computer crime refers to any crime that involves a computer and a networks. Some authorities feel that the term cyber-crime is misnomer as this term is nowhere defined in any statutes or act enacted by the Parliament. In a sense is radically different from the concept of conventional crime in so far as both include conduct whether act or omission which causes breach of law and therefore, it is punishable by the state. It is not surely said that, from when the cybercrime was started but in 1999 at Tywan a virus was attracted named CIH, made the topic of cyber-crime familiar to the whole world. In the present time people become more dependent on computer and internet, as result, we can’t not think our daily activities without this technological help.
