Kevin Whalling, Chief Counsel for the Whalling Law Group, PLLC must appear in court on behalf of his client, Citizens for Corrections Reform, in an upcoming Judiciary Committee meeting in Congress. Citizens for Corrections Reform believes that people are not being sentenced appropriately for crime, and new ways of considering how to conform the public to the law should be considered. This is a highly politized issue. Mr. Whalling is weighing different options for his client on how to best approach Congress with their wishes. Mr. Whalling has asked you to prepare a memorandum of law concerning deterrence. Mr. Whalling needs you to discuss the following elements: Describe Specific Deterrence and give an example of how this works. Describe General Deterrence and give an example of how it works. Research Deterrence. Explain whether deterrence is working regarding both specific and general deterrence. Remember that this is an internal memorandum for Mr. Whalling; while his job is ultimately to support the client, Citizens for Corrections Reform, you can provide an objective analysis. Use the “Topic 6 Memorandum of Law” template to write a memorandum of 500 to 750 words. Follow the prompts within brackets in the template to complete the assignment. Be sure to cite three to five relevant scholarly sources in support of your content. Use only sources found at the GCU Library, government/legal websites, or those provided in Topic Materials. Note regarding citations: Because of the practical limitations of the course, you will not be learning legal citation work such as what would be found in the Bluebook, a citation tool utilized by attorneys. Instead, you will follow APA formatting for citation work. Remember to still cite in your legal memorandum (case law, etc.), and create a separate document for citations. While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
