Assignment — Web Exercise
There are three classes beginning March 8 and ending March 29 that address
three clusters of factors that affect Access to Justice and Technology.
Each member of the class as a member of a small team will investigate
one of these clusters. Do a thorough web search for materials and web
sites and references for your assigned topic. Start with the materials
on the website including student work from Spring 2003, Fall 2004 and
Spring 2006. Concentrate on finding materials and web resources more recent
than Spring 2006. Check Lexis and Nexis and library sources that you can
uncover. You can divide up the research or proceed independently and then
eliminate duplicates and combine the results in the final deliverable.
This performance in its three parts described next (in combination with
the site visit and report) will constitute 10% of your seminar grade.
Your mission for this exercise is threefold:
- Identify a small number of highly informative and challenging
readings that you recommend for the entire class. Explain your reasons
for selecting these proposed assignments and write a review of the material
as a guide for the rest of the class. Based on your recommendations,
I will add or modify the assigned readings in advance of these class
sessions. Final reading assignments will be posted to the class web
site.
- Prepare a thinly annotated bibliography of all useful websites and
other sources that you found to be helpful to understand the issues
you have researched. This annotated bibliography will also be posted
on the web site as background material.
- Prepare to lead the first 30 minutes of the class on the assigned
topic. You may find it useful to prepare a powerpoint presentation to
help structure the discussion.
Due Date
The Web Excercise bibliography and reading proposal from all three
groups are due Monday February 12. You should submit the assignment
as an attachment to an email in Microsoft Word or HTML.
