Law in Contemporary Society
It is strongly recommended that you include your outline in the body of your essay by using the outline as section titles. The headings below are there to remind you how section and subsection titles are formatted.

I think I'm going to discuss how abortion rights as granted by the court are an example of transcendental nonsense; by supporting the law with meaningless law talk, the court created a woman's right to abortion but left it on tenuous grounds. The reasons given for the law don't really add up to the court's conclusion, and the decision (and the right it provides) are open to attack. Lawyering is about changing the world with your words; the majority could not easily do that in regards to abortion, but they could use their power to invent a right and justify it with law talk. I've been thinking about this topic all weekend and I'm just starting to flush out how it will go, so take this as a very rough statement of what I'm looking to do. Also, I intend to stay away from analyzing Roe v Wade or other court decisions since the point of the class is not to read cases like we do in other boring classes. I'm focusing more on how/why the court's language and reasoning don't actually address justifications for women to have a choice, and the problems this creates.

I uploaded an outline I made on Word... I'm more comfortable with Word's format, but I'll try to keep a step by step update on the wiki.
