What can lawyers do to make the world a better place?
I need  a paragraph of about 150 words on this

The final research paper will require each student to demonstrate their knowledge and assimilation of investigative processes and crime scene processing theory, research,and practice,as presented in the readings and lectures. Students are expected to write one concise and succinct research paper of 10 double-spaced pages of text without going over the 12-page maximum. (Note:A cover page,abstract page,and a work cited page do not count towards the 10-page minimum paper length requirement). The paper shall be written inAPA format in and shall not have been previously submitted to any other instructor for any other course. These papers should synthesize major ideas and themes outlined in the readings and lectures and reflect criticalanalysis. For this project, students willchoose a contemporary investigatory method used by police and/or forensic scientists, using only articles from academic journals, official government publications, and reputable trade publications, to discuss in detail the entire criminal investigative process used in the method chosen,ensuring to incorporate major ideas and themes outlined in the readings and lectures. EXAMPLE: A student may wish to write their paper on the use of mitochondrial DNA in sexual Generated: 4/17/2024 Page 4 of 9 assault investigations, or perhaps witness/victim racial bias in viewing physical suspect line-ups. In addition, historical papers, such as the OJ Simpson murder case, or a history of American prisons will not be accepted. Final research paper topics are required to address a contemporary area if criminal investigations. The paper should be prepared on a Microsoft Word document and emailed to the instructor, via the Canvas system,.

Course objectives:
All COs are relevant and apply to this Assignment in the choice and analysis of your selected case study. Keep in mind the following COs in particular in the preparation of the project:
CO-1 Assess the legal environment of business.
CO-2 Explain how ethical frameworks shape business decisions.
CO-10 Assess laws applying to antitrust and consumer protection.
Assignment Prompt:
Review the following case studies involving companies’ decision making (hyperlinked to source information).
Choose ONE of these case studies* as the subject of your presentation.
M F Global (2013)
Hooker Chemical and Plastics Corporation and its Successors — Love Canal Disaster (1953)
*Start with the research source provided. You must conduct more research about the company, its decision, the law, ethics, and issues in the case study for your presentation. Initial material is provided to you to get you started. Focus on the specific pivotal decision the company made.
When you have selected your case study, research and cover the points listed in the instructions below in a well-developed PowerPoint presentation. These instructions provide guidance about how to organize the slides and the minimum number of slides for the required content. Key points are to be presented on slides with explanation and analysis expanded in your Speaker’s Notes narrative.
INSTRUCTIONS: (Also see Grading Rubric.)
This 12-slide outline is the minimum; you might wish to use additional slides for some segments of the presentation for a complete presentation.
The outline identifies how to organize the content areas of your presentation. You will see that the Grading Rubric follows this outline.
Each slide should display key bullet points supplemented with Speaker’s Notes in the speaker’s note space below the slide or as an audio or video narrative.
Slide 1 – Title Slide (title of topic/presentation, your name, course, prof., date)
Slide 2 – Agenda slide – Simple outline of the presentation so your audience knows the topic scope and where you are going.
Slide 3 – at least one slide – (An introduction of the company) Introduce and briefly describe the company, the nature of its business and corporate business environment. Do not spend a lot of time on the history of the company as a business, but do describe necessary history sufficiently to create meaningful context. For some of these case studies, history will have significance.
Slides 4 & 5 – at least 2 slides: explain facts of the case study; identify the decisional dilemma and succinctly state the 2 choices the company had at the critical point in time; the choice the company made and why; the choice the company should and could have made instead (and why). Tip: There is always a choice. Refer to definition of dilemma:
A problem in the decision-making process between two possible but undesirable options from an ethical perspective.
Slides 6 & 7 – at least 2 slides: Identify and explain the statutes and regulations implicated and violated – or potentially violated – by the company’s conduct. Be specific, and explain:
• the purpose of the law; and • how the company’s conduct violated or might have violated the law, and the consequences of violation
Slides 8 & 9 – at least 2 slides: Explain the ethical question/failure of the company’s decision, apart from violation of law. Present an analysis and explanation of an ethical course of conduct and reasoning that the company leadership could have followed to reach the better decision you identified above, to both follow the law and meet the higher goals of the company. Include in your explanation the definition and application of at least one specific ethical framework we have studied that would have led to the better decision. (Examples: ethics of care, deontology, utilitarianism, virtue ethics, etc.) It is NOT sufficient to simply say “exercise CSR” or “do the right thing.”) Analytically apply a specific framework.
Slide 10 – at least 1 slide: Recommend a take-away lesson for the business management of ANY company (not just this company in this situation) that is a lesson to be learned from this case study. What is a recommended business practice? Do not overly generalize. Be specific. Slide 11 – at least 1 slide: Conclusion – your wrap-up—3 bullet points summation of case study relevancy; law/ethics; recommendation. As with other slides, expand narrative in Speaker’s Notes.
Slide 12 – at least 1 slide: References slide – References are listed on the Slide, not only in the Speaker’s Notes Minimum five (5) credible sources that support your material in the PPT. These should also be cited in the PPT Speaker’s Notes to support your narrative, in APA short form. If you are giving an audio presentation, you can include a source by saying something like, “An article by ___________ in ____________ explains how the ethic of care supports successful management decisions.” Also include where necessary on your slides.
AVOID THESE SOURCES: Dictionaries, encyclopedias — including Investopedia in general. Wikis, and the like, and Internet generic quick-answer websites are not acceptable to populate your Reference list. AI-generated material as source and narrative is not acceptable. Use your text, required readings, peer-reviewed articles, statutory and case law, and other credible sources for your research authority.
If you were giving this presentation to your CEO, s/he might well say, “You know, I can read a dictionary. I can chat with a robot myself. I need to hear what the experts and the law are saying about this. And I want to hear your own original analysis. It’s what I’m paying you for.” If you were the CEO what would be your expectation?
APA 7th Edition formatting required for References citations, but a “hanging indent” is not required and citations can be single spaced. Refer to the help sources provided

D‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌uring this assignment, you will locate a current criminal case from a news source that is currently being investigated by a local, state, or federal law enforcement agency. During the first part of the assignment (the theory portion), you are to explain the case in your first paragraph being sure to cite the news source you took the case from at the end of paragraph 1. Proceed by giving details of how the investigating law enforcement agency should proceed with interviews for the crime you’ve selected. Specifically, explain how the investigating PD should go about conducting interviews of victims, witnesses, and suspects. Besides discussing who should be interviewed, be sure to articulate where, when, why, and what some of the questions you feel will be necessary during each interview. Hint: using headings to help explain each interview category (I.e. victim, witness, suspect) the investigating PD will engage in makes it easier to stay organized in your explanation of how the case should be investigated. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU CHOOSE A CURRENT CRIMINAL CASE THAT HAS A VICTIM! You should not choose a homicide case for this assignment because the investigating agency cannot interview a dead person. This theory portion of your assignment should be approximately two-three (2-3) full pages and must also have a cover page and Reference page. The second part of the assignment is the practical part (the authentic portion) where you become the actual investigator working for the investigating agency conducting the criminal investigation. During this authentic portion of your assignment, you will complete the following reports t‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌hat will be included for submission (along with the theory portion): 1. A Victim Statement for each victim interviewed (Hint: you are wise to locate a case with only 1 victim). 2. A Witness Statement for each witness interviewed (MUST interview at least 2 witnesses) – they can be anyone you want as long as these made up witnesses would realistically be interviewed in the news case you selected. 3. Suspect/defendant statements – you’ll need a statement for each defendant you arrested (Hint: you are wise to locate a case with only 1 suspect). List all sources of research at the end of your paper on your Reference Page using APA guidelines for listing authors, dates, titles, and publishing information. Use the Purdue Owl website for help citing classroom PP slides. The following is an example: Saferstein, R. (2013). Forensic Science: From the Crime Scene to the Lab. Pearson Prentice Hall, Upper Saddle River, NJ. General Expectations: This theory portion of the assignment is to be a minimum of 2-3 pages in length, not including your Cover Page, Reference Page, Reports, and Statements. You should use a 12 point “Times” font, printed on 8 ½ X 11’’ paper, double-spaced, with a one inch margins all the way around. The assignment is to abide by all APA rules regarding proper citation, documentation, and formatting. The assignment will constitute fifteen percent (15 %) of your course grade.

Some experts have pointed out that Joint Ventures (JVs) are more prevalent in times of uncertainty compared to mergers and acquisitions (M&As) (Dintelman M. & Aschenbroich A., 2023). What might explain this trend? The growing prevalence of JVs during periods of uncertainty may be linked to their inherently flexible nature, several synergies and ability to retain control. Unlike M&As, where there is a significant commitment to forming a single entity bound by strict governance rules, JVs operate as strategic partnerships. While JVs are favored for their strategic flexibility and adaptability in unpredictable environments, establishing them can be legally complex. Governance and Control: Questions of authority and decision-making powers arise. Who has the final say, and what rights do the veto holders possess?
Capitalization: Agreements must be made regarding the JV’s capitalization. Disputes can occur when one party contributes intellectual property rights or other non-capital assets, leading to imbalance.
Deadlock Situations: What happens when the decision-making process reaches a standstill at the board or shareholder level?
Termination: The grounds and consequences of ending a JV need to be clearly defined to avoid future complications.
Competition: JVs can potentially create competition issues, requiring careful consideration beyond the scope of M&A antitrust perspectives.
Please make me a paper about this. Discussing all aspects. Also provide at least 4 good sources. Focus on Swiss Law or European Law.

Have included life experiences that show resiliency and my desire to practice law. Would like to blend all of these ideas for a smooth paper that has chronological order and can connect all ideas. Also would like to elaborate on some ideas a little more.

For every ISSUE in the problem question, use the IRAC/IPAC method (I: Issue, what are the issues ? R: Rules(law)/P: Principles(law), definitions etc. A: Application, apply the law to the facts of the questions. C: Conclusion.). Referencing style is OSCOLA so please follow it. As for the grammar please write in simple English as it will be easy to read for the person marking the work. Word count is 2500 words, don’t write more than that. AND PLEASE USE ACADEMIC SOURCES ONLY = CASE LAW, ARTICLES, JOURNAL ARTICLES, BOOKS etc. I have uploaded questions and answers regarding each topic so that you have an idea. If you need anything please contact me.
