The student must not just list the laws but must outline what laws apply and provide an analysis of the specific laws to the operations.
Length:
No less than 7 full pages of discussion, double-spaced. 7 pages full of content not including citations. If the paper is not at least 7 full pages, 15 points will be deducted from a possible 60 points available for the paper. The font size must be 12 pt. Times New Roman or Courier New. I need to be able to read it to grade it. Please do not use endnotes, footnotes or a reference page for your citations to your authority for your facts and legal arguments. Such pages will not count towards the 7-10-page length requirement. Also, a face page with your name and title of your paper DO NOT count towards your 7–10-page length.
Law:
A research paper that relies mostly on the text, cases and statutes referred to or provided in class as additional reading cases may result in an up to 10 point deduction out of a possible 60 points available for the paper. You may use statutes and regulations from the web. As an example, if you want to research the Americans with Disabilities Act, you may want to look at www.ada.gov If you want to research food safety you may want to take a look at
www.fda.gov or similar sites that have regulations and statutes available. You can access several cases, statutes, and rules as well as articles on various legal topics by using the online University Library. If you go to the online University Library–then click “Research Guides” and then click “Legal Resources” and then you will be presented with two options, “international law” and “Legal Information”. Once you open up either “International Law” or “Legal Information” you will see several tabs that you can choose from to start your research.
Citation to the Law:
For cases, please provide the name of the parties and then the cite where the case can be found; i.e.; Thomas v Harrison, 21 US 451 (2012): Thomas and Harrison are the parties, the case can be found in book 21 of the United States Reporter at page 451 and was decided in 2012. For statutes, just use the citation that is provided in the code. The same for any regulations that you cite to, such as the ADA. I expect that for each “fact” or “argument” that you provide in your paper you cite (tell me where you found your fact or argument) to the legal authority that supports the fact or argument. Papers that provide facts and arguments without providing the citation to the legal authority to support the fact and or argument may have up to 10 points deducted out of a possible 60 points available for the paper. I need to know where you obtained your facts and support for your arguments.
What I am Looking For From Your Paper to Grade It:
A total of 60 points are available. What I am looking for is not an exhausted research of a specific area of the law. What I want to see is your recognizing of the legal issues involved in a specific area of hospitality management and your ability to analyze the law to the operations. I want to see your topic outlined with a discussion and reference to the specific laws (statutes, cases, regulations) that you have found and are applicable. Further, your discussion of the law and the application of the law to your subject. I also want your recommendations on the law as applied to hospitality operations for the suggested topic of your choice. As an example, if your topic is room reservations and the law applied, you may discuss how to make reservations more enforceable if necessary, in a court of law.
