I just published the details for the first take home exam here. You can also get to it from the Assignments page. Here’s an excerpt to get you excited:
For this this take home exam you’ll be writing a paper (800-1200 words) on a real or hypothetical fair use case. You will be graded based on your ability to not only describe the facts of the case, but also your ability to present a high-level and critical understanding of the issues at play. Do not worry about writing this paper as if you were a law student; your writing should be clear and straightforward and tackle the legal, social, and cultural ramifications of the case. Conversely, simply summarizing the case and the parties various claims will not be sufficient. You must analyze everyone’s position and explain whether you find them compelling. If you do find a particular argument compelling you should explain why and reference a position (not necessarily legal) that offers a similar point of view from sources we’ve covered in class.
The paper is due in class on October 15th.
