"This opportunity to finally put my abilities as a lawyer to the test was pivotal for me. Although I had never prepared a case for a real trial before, I was excited and optimistic. By examining every aspect of the case's documentation, gaining full insight into Russian taxation legislation, and applying my logical reasoning and judgement, I was able to prepare a strong argument supported by the statutes to prove that the actions of the Revenue Board were in fact unlawful."

Abstract
This paper offers a marketing plan for the Mini Law School, noting that the issue facing the Mini Law School is that its current marketing approach is not attracting enough students and so does not enable the owners to achieve their target of 100 students per session. Enrollment has averaged less than half the desired number for the three sessions held to date. An analysis of the marketing scheme and the problems seen with different aspects of that marketing program suggests where some changes might be made.
From the Paper

The value of the website has also been questioned, along with a concern about the design of the site and whether new features should be added.

Abstract
The paper is personal account of one person's battle with bi-polar disorder and his desire to combat the disorder without the use of medication. The paper's writer describes his struggle with the disorder and his eventual success. The paper was presented as an admissions essay for law school.
From the Paper
"Though I must admit, to most, this self-inflicted mental rehabilitation sounds more insane than the actual disorder, and there were several occasions where I thought someone else would be calling my mother to give her a final update on my condition, the end result was everything I hoped for and more. I still suffer bouts of depression and mania, but they do not impede my daily life; a few minor lifestyle adjustments in addition to what I learned those three months in Virginia turned debilitating mood swings into minor inconveniences. And I still here voices and noises if I am exhausted, but they have no more affect on me, as would a radio played in the background. Most importantly, I am no longer ashamed of my condition. I openly tell new friends and acquaintances so that they understand why on some days I am a cliche social butterfly and on others I am more reserved and introverted, or why on some nights I will be the last to bed and on others I am the first. I cannot honestly say I am glad to have gone through something like this, I would rather feel the way I did before the disorder's emergence. I can honestly say that I know now that no accomplishment is outside my grasp, and that adversity is best used as a motivation to achieve rather than as an excuse to fail.

Volunteering when possible, becoming active members of clubs, groups, and committees, and helping fellow students are some of the ways scholarship recipients can actively display their appreciation."

From the Paper
"The school failed to protect the child from harassment. It was brought to the administration's attention and nothing was done. Once students are on their buses, they might be off of the physical premises but they are still the responsibility of the school. After the bus pulls out of the school parking lot, the bus driver is in command. But, as many educators are well aware, drivers often need the support of school administrators in getting their passengers home safely."

Effective leaders create effective schools that are resilient to violence and other risks and promote resiliency in students."

Public Schools vs. Private Schools, 2005.
A look at the accusation that public schools do not produce graduates capable of living and working successfully in their own culture.
3,100 words (approx. 12.4 pages), 9 sources, APA, AU$ 117.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper attempts to demonstrate that private schools succeed at preparing graduates to succeed after graduation, whereas public schools do not. The paper puts forth the hypothesis that private schools teach their students to succeed, not because of a great deal of money poured into education, but because the schools are free to teach the curricula they choose and because they prepare students to return to their own cultures and succeed. The paper further hypothesizes that public schools, on the other hand, are not free to teach curricula not aimed at improving standardized test scores, and the successful public school student is not prepared to return to his or her culture in a trade, but to transition out of it into an anachronistic academic culture.

From the Paper
"There are two, or possibly even three, co-existent educational systems in the United States. The largest of these is the public education system, followed by the private schools and increasingly popular home-schooling. The third system will be mentioned only tangentially, as the real problems with U.S. education are considered to reside in the public schools. In recent decades, there have been various schemes put forth regarding vouchers for families who want to send their children to private schools but cannot afford the fees; none of these has borne fruit. In any case, it is doubtful that the private schools could absorb the numbers of students who would want to attend if vouchers were a reality. The problem with the public schools has been identified by most of the public and by many researchers as one of curriculum."

Abstract
This paper examines and analyzes the case brought against the admissions policy of the University of Michigan Law School.

The paper also discusses the defendant's and plaintiff's argument in the case, precedence considered in the case and dissenting opinion.
From the Paper
"According to the appeal submitted by the defendant Extensive trial testimony presented by the students on the current experience in California shows that if the Regents are stripped of this power, the University of Michigan Law School will resegregate. In 1995, the University of California (UC) Regents voted to eradicate their longstanding affirmative action policies. The results were clear and devastating - minority admissions to the best-regarded schools plummeted; inequality in educational opportunity between white students and minority students increased as the UC system split into two separate and uneven tracks; prejudice on campus grew. Earlier this year, the UC Regents, admitting the failure of their ill-conceived social experiment, collectively voted to lift the ban on affirmative action programs throughout the UC System. the plaintiff asked to graft the same intensification of inequality that has been reject in California onto the Fourteenth Amendment-to make a permanent constitutional provision."

From the Paper
"Introduction
Federal legislation is an important element of the history of vocational education. This paper examines the literature pertaining to why it is important for vocational educators to be knowledgeable about federal laws impacting upon their field.
Federal Legislation and Vocational Education
There are several reasons why it is important for the vocational educator to know about legislation that impacts upon his or her teaching specialty. First, as has been pointed out by May (1987), vocational education, throughout history, has reflected societal needs. In this regard, Morton and Cross (1985) reported that it is often through legislation that education in general and vocational education in particular is helped to improve in terms of better meeting societal needs.

Abstract
This paper shows the balance between the negative and positive aspects of public schools. Similarly, it reflects that home schooling provides an ideal atmosphere for a child under close supervision but has certain limitations too.The biggest advantage the home schools offer is the protection from the violence, sex, drugs and other social ills that is now a common phenomenon in the public schools. The public schools may be infested with serious problems, but they are still indispensable to the intellectual, emotional and psychological growth of young minds. The intellectual growth at homes and social grooming at public schools are shown to be equally important. Both these options provided are shown to provide endless opportunities to learn and grow.
From the Paper
"Education is most important facet of any society. Educated youth is an asset which contributes to progress, development and evolution of civilization. Human beings are naturally blessed with enormous potentials. Education is the knowledge of putting one's potentials to maximum use. When we think of education, the first thing which comes to our minds is the educational institution or the school. Since centuries, the most common form of getting formal education is through Public Schools. However, it has been observed that in last two to three decades, the Public School education is going down the slope. There are numerous questions raised as to the quality of education being imparted and the illicit extra-curricular activities the students are indulging while attending Public Schools. Parents are now getting apprehensive of sending their children to Public Schools and are forced to think of safe alternatives."

Abstract
This paper compares the Korean school system to the American school system. It discusses issues such as-- curriculum, foreign language studies, uniforms and learning hours. It also examines parent involvement in their children's education in both countries. It concludes that American children have a lot to learn from Korean children and it starts with their schooling.
From the Paper
"It?s hard to believe that just a year ago, the American economy was growing at an exponential rate with unlimited job opportunities available in almost every industry. With the stock market breaking record highs, new upstart ?dot.com? companies making millions in their first year and doubling of jobs in the service sector, a bright and stable future seemed almost a guarantee for many high school students who would soon be entering the job markets. This growth, however short lived, is now in a downhill progression with the plummeting stock market, many computer companies in bankruptcy, and American companies laying people off in record numbers and downsizing nationally. Combine this recession with globalization and American high school students are now facing fierce competition nationally and internationally for jobs. The question is whether or not your average American high school graduate is scholastically prepared to compete for these sought-after jobs? Unfortunately, I don?t think so and I hope to provide valid evidence that will support my thoughts. In comparing the Korean school systems with those of the Americans, I feel that the difference is clear."
