I do not necessarily expect originality in resolving specific problems you encounter concerning details of Greek law, but I do want to see your own ideas in the interpretation of the evidence, especially in reading the speeches. Most important is the ability to comprehend the ancient evidence, and to assess and evaluate it both in itself and in comparison with our own legal system. You are encouraged to make some reference to similarities or differences with our own system, though the amount of discussion devoted to this will vary. I do not want a detailed discussion of our own system but only enough to clarify the main similarities and differences between the two systems. Clear thinking and clear writing are very important in the papers, and reports should be clearly and effectively presented.
Organization is essential for both the paper and the report.
