Unit 8 – Writing Assignment

Richard L. Abel, former president of the Law and Society Association, once stated, “All law is
inescapably two-faced. It reproduces and justifies existing inequalities and injustices; yet it also
embodies ideals and offer mechanisms through which they can be pursued” (Barkan, 2009, p. 6).
Last Unit, we learned how law can be effective in bringing about positive social changes. However, in
this Unit, we explore the “uglier side of law” that promotes and fosters inequality.
For this Assignment, you are going to draft a 2 page paper addressing the following:

1. Identify two laws in United States’ history that promoted inequality. Explain how these two

laws promoted inequality. Do not use the laws discussed on the discussion board.

2. Identify one current law (from the last decade) that promotes inequality. Explain how this law

promotes inequality.

3. In addition to your textbook, you must rely on and cite to three additional sources to support

your assertions.

In addition to fulfilling the specifics of the assignment, a successful paper must also meet the
following criteria:

 Length of the paper should be 2 pages, excluding cover page and references.

 Viewpoint and purpose should be clearly established and sustained.

 Assignment should follow the conventions of Standard American

 English(correct grammar, punctuation, etc.).

 Writing should be well ordered, logical and unified, as well as original and
insightful.

 Your work should display superior content, organization, style, and mechanics.

 Appropriate citation style should be followed.

Submit the memo to the Unit 8 Dropbox by the end of Unit 8.
