STD509, W5 Presentations

During Week 5, each student will make a short presentation on a law review article published within the past two years dealing with a tort law concept.

(A law review article is an article published by one of the law schools. Law review articles are usually rather long and contain numerous footnotes. Typically, law review articles follow a similar format. They identify a legal problem, survey existing law, and propose a legal solution.)

NOTE about grading: During Week 5, you will receive two grades. The first grade will be related to your presentation and your second grade will be related to whether you posted your presentation and participated meaningfully in the critical evaluation of at least two other presentations.

You will find your grade and my feedback on this presentation in the W5 Law Review Presentation Evaluation Assignment. That grade will be there because that is where the presentation grading function resides. However, I want you to post your presentation here because, in Part 2, we are going to discuss everyone’s presentations. The discussion grading function resides here. You can find both rubrics (for the presentation itself and for your critical thought about others’ presentations) in the Grade Book.

Part 1:

For your presentation:

1. Locate a law review article published within the past two years.
2. Summarize the article, including the author’s thesis.
3. Provide your evaluation of the substantive argument of the author. Simply put, you should assess whether the author made a persuasive argument and offer your own legal criticisms of the work.
4. Upload your presentation here, in this Discussion.

(* There is no need to upload your presentation in the Assignment portal. Instead, I will review your presentation here, and provide you with individualize feedback and a grade via the Assignment portal.)

You can exercise your creativity with this presentation concerning format and substance. For example, students have used various formats, including PowerPoint presentations, with or without sound in the past. Other students have used their smartphone cameras to record audio presentations, and still others have recorded audio and visual presentations using Zoom or the classroom’s (or another) video conferencing system. (If you choose a different recording system, please be sure that others will be able to open it here in the classroom.)

Similarly, you have a wide range of flexibility with regard to the selection of your law review article. For example, some students have picked law review articles dealing with tort law issues in their respective states, while others have picked a law review article dealing with a topic that interested them from the readings. Whatever you choose, it must be related to tort law.

Your presentation should be around 1000 to 1200 words, and if recorded, the presentation should last no more than 10 or 15 minutes. I will evaluate your presentation on your ability to locate a law review article, the precision of your analysis of the article, and your creativity. You should upload your presentation here in this Discussion board.

Part 2:

After you have submitted your own presentation here (as your “initial post”), please comment on the style and substance of at least two other presentations.
