Boling v. Sharp(1954)Your Reflection should be based on the court case you were assigned. You must include as with any assignment you ever do for any class citations to any sources you consult. Use a standard MLA format Works Cited page. Ensure that I can easily navigate to any source you cite. Im actually less worried about the technical detail of constructing proper citations than I am my ability easily hopefully with one click to access any source you use assuming you use online sources. If you use other non-online sources be sure to use an appropriate citation.In your Reflection you shoulda) Briefly (VERY! briefly. Not more than one paragraph or youll lose credit.) describe the case in your own words. You may assume Im familiar with the case and only need the briefest description as a reminder. If you spend a lot of time describing the detail of the case you will lose a lot of points. I know the story and this is not a book report. Move on to the following items!b) Discuss why the case is important. Include political social cultural etc. importance.c) Discuss any subsequent developments that have resulted from the decision if any.d) Give your personal assessment of the decision.It is critical that you remember not to simply cut and paste or use too much of the actual wording of sources. Plagiarism is not acceptable as you know. In an assignment like this I have found that it is easy for students to use too many of the words of the source without even realizing it. Be mindful so that you do not lose credit. One thing you can do is check the SafeAssignment upload after you have completed it. You will be able to see how much of your submission was flagged by SafeAssign. If you look and think theres a problem you can let me know and we can work it out so that you can submit it again so long as it is before the due date.Also remember that quoting long stretches from a source is not appropriate even if you cite it correctly. In an assignment this short (and this is VERY short) quoting more than a line or two is too much. This assignment is supposed to be your work. Not someone elses.The point of this assignment is for you to think deeply about the case and its significance to American law and society.What does the case mean?Why is it important?What legal doctrine is at stake?What in society was changed by the case?What impact has it had since it was decided?What other cases have cited it to support other decisions?Do not try to answer all those questions. And do not limit yourself to only these questions. They are simply intended to give you a start on the kinds of things you should be thinking about.
