Dear Class:
Your Ethical-Legal Paper involves knowing how to brief a legal case, selecting a legal issue and identifying and selecting an adjudicated case related to a legal issue. Every legal case has underlying ethical issues.
Examples of legal issues are: medical malpractice, assault and battery, use of expert witness, lack of informed consent, fraud, qui tam law, misrepresentation, wrongful death, false imprisonment, and many more.
Starting with this transmission, I will send legal cases that you could browse through.
Browsing through these cases will provide you with an idea of what ethical-legal topic to write about.
The paper should be in narrative format following the APA style. This includes a title page, body of text, and reference page. All papers will be submitted to turnitin.com.
