Please submit your term paper using Microsoft Word (either as a .doc file or a .docx file). If you do not have access to Microsoft Word you may submit your file as a PDF.  However, Microsoft Word is much preferred.  Please only submit the paper as one file.  If you have a second file – e.g., a bibliography – please include that material into the one main file (in other words, into the Term Paper file itself).
When you submit your paper, please print a copy of a your confirmation notice (and, of course, keep on your computer a copy of your paper). If a technology error occurs and your paper cannot be accessed, you will need to show us that notice.
The term paper folder may appear on all students’ pages (even those students who did not submit an outline).  However, only those students who submitted an outline are permitted to submit a term paper.   
__________________________________________
In the papers themselves, a common failing, among other things, is the absence of sources for various statements which are not yours (that you got from somewhere but have not cited).  Put in footnotes one or more sources for every statement that you make which should require documentation (that is not simply your own thought).   
Law sources for your paper can be found from many avenues – Findlaw, Justia, Cornell Law School digital library, Lexis-Nexis (this one is available in the digital databases for the UF Libraries) and many others. 
The completed paper should be from 2,200 to 2,800 words, not counting the citations.
