Thesis: What law are you researching (choose a relevant cyber law)? What position do you want to

way the law is written. You can choose to like certain aspects of the law and not others.
Background: What is the existing point you want to challenge or support, and how did the law get
to be that way (This is where you would need to find cases, background information, etc.)?

weaknesses in the argument you are attacking?
Adequacies: Discuss the positive aspects of the law.
o Proposed Changes: How will we have a better situation, mode of understanding or clarity with what
you are advocating? In short, how can the law be improved (or not diminished)? This is where you
have the chance to change the law with your own ideas of how it should be written.
o Conclusion: Why should and how can your proposal be adopted?
