legal memorandum in criminal law
For this optional extra credit, you should focus on the legal profession in the media and current events. Search (using the internet, newspapers, magazines, etc.) for a current event (within the last 3 months) in the news that an attorney (and therefore a paralegal) would be involved in. For example, if there is a current trial that interests you that is in the news, you may discuss that. You may use a civil or criminal matter. After you have found your current event, do the following:
1. Provide one paragraph describing the current event and how a paralegal might be involved in it.
2. Provide one paragraph discussing your thoughts on the current event and how it affects the legal community.
