Please read these assignment instructions before writing your paper, and re-read them often during and after the writing process to make sure that you are fulfilling all of the instructions. Please also utilize the assignment guidance and the outlined model provided.OverviewThe following short essay assignment is designed to help prepare you for an important part of the Final Paper. In this essay, you will do the following:Choose either the same ethical question you formulated and introduced in the Week One Assignment, or a different one based off the list of acceptable topics.Choose either utilitarian or deontological ethical theory to apply to the ethical question.Explain the core principles of that theory.Demonstrate how the principles of the theory support a certain position on that question.Articulate a relevant objection to that position.InstructionsWrite a five-paragraph essay that conforms to the requirements below. The paper must be at least 1,000 words in length (excluding title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. The paragraphs of your essay should conform to the following guidelines:IntroductionThe introduction should clearly state the ethical question under consideration, and define the essential issues. You may build upon the question and introduction you provided in the Week One Assignment; or you may choose a different question, but it must be based off the list of acceptable topics. Your introduction should include a brief remark about the kind of theory you will be using to approach this question. The last sentence of the introduction should briefly summarize the or position on the issue you think is best supported by this theory and succinctly state what the objection will be. Bear in mind that your essay will not be concerned with your own position on this issue, but what someone reasoning along the lines of the chosen theory would conclude; this may or may not be the position you took in the Week One Assignment.Body ParagraphsEach paragraph in the body should start with a topic sentence that clearly identifies the main idea of the paragraph. Theory explanationExplain the core principles or features of the deontological or utilitarian theory and the general account of moral reasoning it provides. You must quote from at least one required resource other than your textbook that defends or represents that theory. Refer to the list of acceptable resources.ApplicationDemonstrate how the principles or features of the deontological or utilitarian theory apply to the question under consideration and identify the specific conclusion that results from applying the reasoning characteristic of that kind of approach. Your application should clearly show how the conclusion follows from the main principles and features of the theory as addressed in the previous paragraph. Please see the associated guidance for help in fulfilling this requirement.ObjectionRaise a relevant objection to the argument expressed in your application. An objection articulates a plausible reason why someone might find the argument problematic. This can be a false or unsupported claim or assumption, fallacious reasoning, a deep concern about what the conclusion involves, a demonstration of how the argument supports other conclusions that are unacceptable, etc. You should aim to explain this objection as objectively as possible, (i.e., in a way that would be acceptable to someone who disagrees with the argument from the previous paragraph). Note that this does not necessarily mean that the objection succeeds, or that the conclusion the theory supports is wrong. It may be an obstacle that any adequate defense of the conclusion would have to overcome, and it may be the case that the theory has the resources to overcome that obstacle. Your task here is simply to raise the objection or present the “obstacle.”ConclusionThe conclusion should very briefly summarize the main points of your essay.Resource RequirementsYou must use at least two resources to support your claims.At least one of the resources should be one of the Required or Recommended Resources that represent the theory you have chosen, and must be drawn from the list of acceptable resources available in your online classroom.The other source should pertain to the particular issue you are writing about and should be drawn from the required or recommended readings in the course, or be a scholarly source found in the Ashford Unversity Library.You are encouraged to use additional resources, so long as at least two conform to the requirements above.The textbook does not count toward satisfying the resources requirement.To count toward satisfying the requirement, resources must be cited within the body of your paper and on the reference page and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.If you are unsure about whether a resource fulfills the requirement, or need assistance in finding resources, please contact your instructor.

Part 1 Using the fact pattern below, write a list of eight goals for the law firm. Each goal should be 1–2 sentences long. An example of a goal for a law firm is: “The firm will provide a minimum of 5 hours a week of pro bono service for poor people in the neighborhood of the firm.” [Please do not use this as one of your goals.] In your goals, you are required address all of the following: purpose of the law firm; needs of the law firm; position in the community; and how the society views the firm (sees the goals/values of the law firm being demonstrated). Part 2 Using the fact pattern below, prepare a mission statement for the law firm. The mission statement should be 2 paragraphs long with each paragraph being 4–6 sentences in length. A lengthy example of a mission statement for a law firm can be found at the following website: Hoge Fenton Jones & Appel. (n.d.). http://www.hogefenton.com/ Feel free to conduct research to find examples of mission statements for small or solo practitioners’ offices as well. Your law firm mission statement should address all of the following: the specific purpose of the law firm; the position of the law firm within the community and society; and how the society views the firm (sees the goals/values of the law firm being demonstrated). Fact Pattern You are a paralegal about to start work for a small law firm of two attorneys in a modest urban community of about 100,000 people. The office will be located just outside of the downtown area. The office for which will you work engages in a general practice of law. The office covers the main areas of law — civil litigation, criminal defense, and transactional work. The attorneys have been working together for 5 years; two of them each have 4–5 years of additional professional experience in other law firms. The practice continues to grow. There is little time to organize the office, and it has no operating manuals or procedures. The office uses a time-management software, but the firm still lists former clients on 3 × 5 cards that it uses to check for conflicts of interest. For the firm to grow, it will need to rely more on technology.
