Research@APUS

Paper details:

  1. Find 2 peer reviewed articles and 2 regular articles on a legal topic of your choosing.
    · Research@APUS is the library's one-stop-shop for all things research. (Always come back to it because it continues to expand.) It has a very helpful whole
    section on Library Sources; check it out! The library will save you much frustration and time if you get to know it well.
    · We also have many helpful FAQs that delineate between different types of sources and how to access/research them in the library. For example:
    o What does peer reviewed mean? https://apus.libanswers.com/faq/2154
    o How do I find peer reviewed or scholarly articles? https://apus.libanswers.com/faq/2244
    o How do I find a "popular" article? https://apus.libanswers.com/faq/2344
    o How do I search for law review articles? https://apus.libanswers.com/course_specific/faq/48751
  2. Create a research log detailing how you found the articles.
    You must use: (a) the Online Library's Nexis Uni, and (b) at least two other websites listed in the Legal Studies Research Guide. (See the announcements for
    more information.) A sample research log is attached for your convenience.
  3. Pick one article that interests you. (You can choose whatever legal topic that you like!) Write a report on that article. The report must be a minimum of 2
    pages long, double spaced, and must contain footnotes in Bluebook format.
  4. Turn in both the research log and the essay
