Your final paper should be between 2500 and 3500 words long. Depending on formatting, this will be between 8 and 16 pages.
Your final project should be interesting, original, and on a topic discussed in this course. The paper should cover both the legal and moral aspects of the problem that you analyize. You should be sure that make it clear the policy issue that you are addressing; the relevant laws; any cases that have been decided to date; and how the issue is likely to change in the coming years.
We have prepared a list of final project ideas. You are free to pursue any of these or to pursue your own project.
Final papers should be submitted through Moodle.
Because of the number of students in the Harvard class, final presentations will be oral and be done without slides. You should be prepared to speak for 3 minutes and then take one or two questions.
