2. Essays:
Between 3000 and 5000 words, inclusive of footnotes. Essays are far more
concise in scope. These papers usually deal with a very specific issue, and
argue that the issue must be conceptualized differently. They are more
engaging, and make a more easily identifiable, concrete argument.

objective of the legislation and the legal impact the same is expected to have.
