Law 732: Gender and the Law
Professor Vernellia Randall

You must complete an annotated bibliography on any topic related to Gender and the law. The topic must be approved by me no later than Sept. 12.  

The bibliography must contain at least  8 sources (minimum to receive any credit).   Three of the sources must be non-law sources. News articles, articles from popular press and websites,  Do NOT count  toward the minimum number of sources although I do encourage you to include them and will take them into consideration with considering the grade for the annotated bibliography. 

You must read the primary sources on laws and statutes and not just law review articles.

Your annotated bibliography should have a 3-4 page introduction which gives an overview of the topic or issue including a summary of some of the key issues and your personal views on the topics.

For each reading, your annotation should include: citation, description, critical comment and total number of pages read. The description should be two to three paragraphs, but no longer than a half of page. It should include a synopsis of the author's primary arguments and a critique of those arguments. It should include whether the source contains a bibliography. 

The bibliography must be turned in as a electronic drop-box.  The number of points earned will be based on the:

• quantity of readings 
• the relevancy of the readings to your topic
• the comprehensiveness of your cites (such statutes, cases, law review)
• the quality of your annotations.
