You are to find TWO peer reviewed journal articles that address the relationship between either consumer protection and tort litigation OR between intellectual property rights and economic concentration.
After you find two strong sources (you will have to look through many sources and narrow it down), you will create an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography involves creating a bibliographical entry for each of the two sources you find (see APA style sheet attached for formatting instructions), and including two pages (500 typed words) following each source. In the annotation you should include the following:
1) Give an account of the source of the article. What journal is this article found in? What discipline does it belong to, and what is its academic orientation? (For example, if you find an article in the Canadian Journal of Sociology, you would indicate that it was a Sociology journal with a focus on Canadian issues.) It is strongly recommended that you visit the journal’s website and review its mission statement (“about this journal”) in order to identify its theoretical and ideological orientation.
2) Write a brief summary of the argument presented in the article. This will involve you first reading the article carefully, and then articulating its core argument. DO NOT copy the abstract or only include information from the introduction. You should cite directly from the body of the article at least three times, preferably from different sections and page ranges.
3) Explain how this article would be useful for an essay on your selected topic. How would it contribute to your work? Does it give good empirical evidence? Does it introduce a specific theoretical approach? Does it address a particular historical or geographical instance? Does it give an account of a debate in the field? There are many possible answers to this question.
