Discussion Thread: Loving and Hating the Bluebook
Over the course of the past few weeks (and hopefully during your other courses) you have been introduced to the legal citation method known as The Bluebook. If you are anything like most of us in the legal world you love and hate it! Providing a source not just to give credit, but to also lend authority to your argument is essential. However, there are some arguments for a different, more streamlined method. This module/week, you will be reading an article written by Judge Richard A. Posner Judge Posner is a vocal critic of The Bluebook. Read Judge Posner’s article, and respond to the following questions: 1. What are Posner’s strongest arguments? What are his weakest? 2. If presented with the opportunity to draft your own legal citation method, what aspects of The Bluebook method should be eliminated and what aspects should be incorporated? 3. What aspects of The Bluebook fit with the Christian worldview?
The discussion post must be 400 to 600 words, you
must support your assertions with at least 1 scholarly citation in the Bluebook citation format.The scholarly citation must be real and verifiable online.Here is the article link:

Discussion Thread: The Bill of Rights
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania passes a law requiring all children to be vaccinated for Hepatitis B before the age of five. Jonas and Jennifer Yoder are members of the Amish faith. They have three children over the age of five whom they have refused to vaccinate based on their religious beliefs. Specifically, the Yoders believe that vaccinating their children would be equivalent to placing their faith in man over their faith in God, which would violate the First Commandment; “You shall have no other Gods before Me.”
The Yoders have sued Pennsylvania seeking to overturn the law as a violation of the Free Exercise of Religion contained in the First Amendment. Based on current judicial understanding of the Free Exercise Clause, explain whether the court should rule in the Yoders’ favor?
Must be between 300 to 600 words.You must support your assertions with at least 3 scholarly sources in
Bluebook format. They must be real and verifiable.

BRIEF: ROUGH DRAFT ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
So far in this course, all assignments have focused on an objective view of the facts and cases.
You have read and drafted case briefs that have objectively examined the facts and law of a case.
Then, you drafted an objective, predictive office memo. Now, we are going to switch gears from
being an objective observer to being an advocate. You will continue with the same cases with
which you have been working for this assignment. Nothing about the law will be changing. The
only change you will be making is switching from objective to persuasive writing for a client.
A brief, contrary to its description, is not brief at all. It is a persuasive argument presented to a
court. Briefs are filed by the attorneys, generally in an appellate court. The brief outlines and
explains the issues, facts, law, and analysis that the court will need to perform. However, each
side will file a brief with the court that takes all of this information and presents it in a persuasive
manner.
The great news is that you have already done a lot of hard work(SEE ATTACHED PREDICTIVE MEMO PRIOR WORK). You have read and briefed all of
the cases that you will use for this assignment. You have even drafted a discussion section with
all four of the rule explanation paragraphs you need. However, now you are going to switch from
being objective to being persuasive. For the brief, you will use the same information but will
become an advocate for your client. At this point, you have already examined the law. Thus,
your focus now should be on crafting logical and reasoned arguments for your client.
INSTRUCTIONS
Follow the format that has been included in the prompt (SEE ATTACHED-JONES BRIEF PROMPT)J provided by your
professor. This includes the headings and sections. Make sure your brief is:
 3 to 5 pages in length.
 Does not include a cover page or running heads.
 Single-spaced, Times New Roman, 12-point font
 Uses the same four rule explanation paragraphs as your memo. However, make sure to
incorporate the feedback provided by your professor in the memo.
o Two rule explanation paragraphs in the first section of the argument.
o Two rule explanation paragraphs in the second section of the argument.
 Includes two rule application paragraphs
o One rule application paragraph at the end of the first section of the argument.
o One rule application paragraph at the end of the second section of the argument.
 Cite cases using the Bluebook in-text citation method
 Only the four assigned cases should be used – no outside sources. Here are the cases: 
1-Derby v. Derby, 378 S.E.2d 74 (Va. Ct. App. 1989) 
2-Galloway v. Galloway, 622 S.E.2d 267 (Va. Ct. App. 2005) 
3-Sims v. Sims, 55 Va. App. 340 (2009)
4-Chaplain v. Chaplain, 682 S.E. 2d 108 (Va. Ct. App. 2009).
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
DO NOT USE AI TO WRITE THIS, IT MUST BE WRITTEN BY A HUMAN, I WILL CHECK. TURNITIN WILL CHECK AS WELL.

Further identify and discuss the moral philosophies you have learned and explain how they might justify patent protection. Be sure to identify and discuss the predominant moral justification in the U.S. Constitution for patent protection. For that moral justification, explain whether it is consistent with a Biblical worldview, and compare it with the other justifications and explain whether some other justification is more consistent with a Biblical worldview.
