Puerto Rico's Court System

Puerto Rico’s Court System

Order Description

ou must create a court system for the newly created state of Puerto Rico. To be certain you understand how courts are organized in other states, you must research at least three current state court systems and use those systems to create Puerto Rico’s system. You must describe your proposal for creating Puerto Rico’s municipal courts, major trial courts, appellate courts, and the state’s highest court. Remember to provide citations when you borrow some idea or structure from another state. How will the courts be structured geographically, for example? You must also describe how judges will be chosen for each court and must discuss how judicial and attorney ethical standards will be structured and enforced. You should conduct basic research on Puerto Rico (size, geography, population, existing counties or municipios, etc.) to be certain your proposed system will actually work.

The body (not including cover page, works cited/bibliography, etc.) of the paper must be a minimum of 10 pages in length, double spaced, using a 12-point font such as Times New Roman. A works cited page or bibliography (depending on the citation system used) must be included.

A grading rubric for research papers is below. Remember that the assignment must be written entirely in your own words. Paper grades are based on quality of research and quality of writing.

Papers previously submitted for credit in another class, including POSC 340: Judicial Process (for students who may have taken the course previously), may not be submitted for credit in this class. Any paper previously submitted must be substantially modified or totally re-written so that no more than 30% of the language matches on the Turnitin report when the paper is submitted.
