Not what you're looking for?

The person can be a public figure or a fictional character from a book, a movie, or a TV show who is related to the legal process. As you progress through the reading and assignments in the remaining weeks, think about how you might want to develop your Final Project.

Your Final Project will contain the following sections:

• Related career and vocational issues
• Proposed treatment and intervention options
• Continuing assessment and proposed follow-up
• Potential legal and ethical issues
Your Final Project must demonstrate both breadth and depth of knowledge and critical thinking appropriate to graduate-level scholarship. It must follow APA Publication Manual guidelines and be free of typographical, spelling, and grammatical errors. The project should be 8-10 pages in length (double-spaced), not including the title page, the abstract, and references.
It cannot be plagiarized and must be cited properly. All references and citations must be in APA format.
