The paper should identify the question(s) under study, summarize clearly the contribution of the law and economics approach to the topic, note any shortcomings of the research, and suggest further questions that should be resolved. Take a stand on the implications and conclusions of the paper, if possible with some connection to political or social issues of the day. You want the reader to be able to understand and summarize the key aspects of the research. A common omission in such papers is not explaining how an author supports his results, but merely stating the results. This is a formal writing assignment. Take great care with the structure of the paper, as well as with the construction of each sentence. Include appropriate references. Imagine you are writing for a well-educated individual who has taken a full year of economics but has little familiarity with law and economics issues or research. Your grade depends not only on content but also on presentation. There is a tendency in reviews to write, “The author does this and does that.” Don’t do that. Be more specific. Tell us the theory and the method by which the author reaches his result(s). Since it is assumed that most of the ideas in your paper are coming from the articles reviewed, you need not cite each idea, as is usually the case in a normal research or creative paper. In this assignment, the presumption is that most of your points are a summary of the reviewed papers and that it will be reasonably clear when you are adding your own creative ideas.
