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
"Concerns have been raised especially about the advertising that has been done, whether it is effective and whether it is placed in the best locations to reach potential students. 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. Another consideration is the cost, for many of the possible moves that could be made would also add to the costs for the owners and would have to be justified by..."

Arguing a Position
Articulating the Major Weaknesses in the Position
Describing How the Litigation Could be Avoided or Prevented
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."

Abstract
This is a quantitative research study that is designed to assess the impact of school culture on school safety and school violence. The paper looks at what schools can do to create proper environments that are conducive to safety and whether there are identifiable behaviors within school culture that contribute to safety. The paper also analyzes the perceptions of teachers and administrators about school culture and order.
From the Paper
"Another important point that is stressed when looking at school culture and safety is the fact that strong leaders generally make an effort to express sincere feelings toward students and their lives, and have a real belief that the students have the potential to become successful and productive adults (Kenworthy & O'Driscoll, 2000). Effective leaders create effective schools that are resilient to violence and other risks and promote resiliency in students."

Rich School, Poor School, 2002.
A look at the "Robin Hood" revenue-sharing law used to fund education in Texas.
1,382 words (approx. 5.5 pages), 6 sources, MLA, AU$ 50.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the history of school funding in the state of Texas and the attempts to fund equitable educational opportunities for all Texas children. In particular, it discusses the the "Robin Hood" revenue-sharing law, which was signed into effect in 1993 and literally siphons funds from wealthy school districts and diverts them to poorer schools. It analyzes how the plan has been anathema to many, since it was signed into law by Ann Richards, the state's last Democratic governor, and evaluates its advantages and disadvantages.
From the Paper
"The Texas Supreme Court agreed with the plaintiffs and stated that an efficient system must provide "substantially equal access to similar revenues per pupil at similar levels of tax effort." (Hughes, 2002) Basically, this means that a poor district should be able to operate on the same revenue per pupil from a one-cent tax increase as any other district would from the same one-cent increase. So the Robin Hood plan was implemented in 1993 as a temporary measure to provide funds until a more permanent solution could be devised. The plan was never intended to be permanent, none the less, poorer schools have become accustom to the higher funding levels, and they are hesitant to consider a new plan which would mean a possible decline in income."

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$ 98.95
»
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."

Home School vs. Public School, 2004.
An opinion paper that states reasons why home-schooling is a better option for one's children.
1,325 words (approx. 5.3 pages), 7 sources, MLA, AU$ 48.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents arguments on both sides for and against home-schooling. It explains the benefits of parents being the main educators for their children, but also cites reasons, such as social development of the children, being affected. The paper concludes, however, that home-schooling could be the best option for specific people and that the system produces well-balanced children. Includes a thorough annotated bibliography and many sources attached at the end of the paper.
From the Paper
"Each year more and more home schoolers are rising to the top of their fields and are being regarded as choice recruits for major colleges and universities across the country. Studies have proven that overall home educated children are more mature, well-balanced, and more confident than children educated in the public school system. What appears to be crucial to their success is the one-on-one relationship with the parent-teacher and the opportunity to learn as they are ready."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines and analyzes the case brought against the admissions policy of the University of Michigan Law School. The paper explains the district court decision that the Law School was breaking the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 with its affirmative action policies. 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.

Home Schooling versus Public Schooling, 2006.
A comparison of home schools and public schools in the United States, the pros and cons.

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."

Affirmative Action in California, 2004.
This paper presents research designed to analyze affirmative action in California by examining the past, present, and future of African-Americans at two California, upper-tier, medical and law schools.
4,775 words (approx. 19.1 pages), 13 sources, APA, AU$ 132.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the reason this study is proposed is that many argue the mere elimination of the discriminatory practices of the past has not eliminated the deeper problems of racism and the lack of equal rights, equal opportunity, and equal consideration for the African-American community. The author points out that the United States seemed to be moving ever-closer to a curious situation, one in which an artificial system of quotas, or "preferences", was aiming to create a "color-blind" society in which positions of employment and trust were occupied, at all levels, by persons of various racial and ethnic groups in proportion to their numbers in the general population. The paper states that the researcher will use a questionnaire to examine both how African-Americans view their own experience at UCLA and USC's medical and law schools and how they perceive the African-American experience in general at those schools.

From the Paper
"Everything changed, however, as a result of the Civil Rights Movement and the calls made for justice and change by such outstanding spokesmen for human rights as the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and a host of other political and social activists. Jim Crow was abolished, and schools across America were desegregated. Judges all over the country ordered the busing of school-age children to schools that were often far from their homes. The aim was to create schools with student populations that reflected the genuine racial and ethnic make-up of America and of its local communities. From now on, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and other Minorities would learn side by side with Whites. Colleges and universities too, actively sought African-American, Hispanic, Latino, and Asian students. The law schools of both public institutions of higher learning like UCLA, and private schools like USC, established Affirmative Action Programs that aimed to guarantee a certain number of places for these Minorities."

From the Paper
"Hanafi Law founded in eighth-century Iraq by students of Abu Hanifa focused on the Koranic foundations of public and private interrelationships and how those relationships should be regulated. The central philosophy of the Hanafi school was that human reason should be used to interpret the word of God and Hanafi writings drew their authority from the opinions of Islamic jurists as well as from varied local practice, thereby forming the basis for an incipient legal code."

"Many school districts, in California and elsewhere, have their own human resources departments. The Rio Linda Union School District, however, has no human resources department. That, according to Betty Barker, Assistant Superintendent of Personnel for Rio Linda Union School District (Interview, October 17, 2005) is one fact that distinguishes the district from other districts, and left over from the days before some schools began moving toward decentralization."
