The case describes an appellate legal opinion or court decision involving expert witness testimony. When a case is appealed, it goes to an appellate or to a higher court. The appellate court then reviews the findings of the lower court, which in this case was the trial court. The appellate court offered the following two opinions:

• The first opinion (Commonwealth of Virginia v. Allen, 2005, pp. 1–24) is the majority opinion and is the one that counts.
• The second opinion (Commonwealth of Virginia v. Allen, 2005, pp. 24–31) is an opinion filed by a minority of judges who concurred (agreed) in part and dissented (disagreed) in part with the majority of the judges who ruled.

*****After reading the appellate legal opinion, write a 2- to 3-page paper addressing the following:

• Discuss whether either of the expert witnesses in this case acted unethically. Support your opinion with the relevant APA or specialty ethical guidelines.
• Indicate whether you agree with the majority decision or the minority concurring or dissenting opinion. Explain why.*****

The paper should be in APA style.

Introduction

Summary of the main points of The Communist Manifesto (2 pages, 20 points), including in text quotes as appropriate and a discussion of the historical context of the writing of the Communist Manifesto.

Summary of the main points of another Primary Source document critical of the Communist Manifesto (2 pages, 20 points), including in text quotes as appropriate and a discussion of the historical context of the writing of this document.

Compare and contrast the Communist Manifesto with the Primary Source Document you have chosen. Are there any similarities? What are the differences? Is there anything about the historical background that would explain the differences? Is there anything about the individual differences of the authors that would explain their different conclusions (i.e. how has their worldview affected their interpretations of this issue)? (2 pages 20 points).

Conclusion

The final paper will be due on November 15.
