Create a short presentation that discusses the sources of law within the United States. Your presentation should include:
A title slide, with the name of the assignment, your name, the course coded name, and your instructor’s name
Five slides on the five sources of law (See Brickley)
On each of these slides list and briefly define (one paragraph or up to three bullet points) each area of law and provide at least one example of this source of law
A reference slide that lists the sources you relied on to create this presentation

There are two questions in the assignment. I am working on question 2 but I would just like help with e) and c). I will send over the question and my notes and the textbook to use. This is a problem question not an essay question. IMP TO USE CASE LAW AND STATUTES FOR AUTHORITY OSCOLA FOOTNOTES

Now it is your turn to critique an oral argument. Perhaps you remember having seen the headline Fisher v University of Texas (2016) ruling (or at least the concept of affirmative action as it relates to university acceptance). Your assignment is to listen to the oral argument of the attorneys before the court, then write a one page double-spaced opinion paper on your impression. Did the attorneys argue their point well? Did one do better than the other? Were they able to get their statement out without being interrupted? Which Justice was dominant? Was it clear from what direction they were asking – conservative? liberal? Did they seem to take sides? Next you are to read the short brief on the Oyez site to see exactly what the holding was for the case and which Justices were in the majority or dissent. Was this how you thought they would rule? Finally, look at the background to see what implications this case might have once you have finished writing your paper.
​The oral argument and brief for Fisher v University of Texas, 579 US ____ (2016) can be found at https://www.oyez.org/cases/2015/14-981 The background and details can be found at https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/fisher-v-university-of-texas-at-austin-2/
Remember, I am looking for your impressions of the workings of the Court, not your opinion on the holding. You should only use the sources given for this assignment. The only source on the submission should be the oral argument for the case itself.

The topic that you will research pertains to Real Property and Landlord Tenant Law.
Overview:
The Nature of Real Property
Property falls into three categories: real, personal, and intellectual. Real property, which is the focus of this assignment, consists of the following:
Land. Land is the most common and important form of real property. The law of real property had been of prominent importance for nearly 1,000 years, developing very gradually to reflect changing conditions.
Buildings. Buildings are real property. Houses, office buildings, apartment complexes, and factories all fall in this category.
Plant life. Plant life growing on land is real property whether the plants are naturally occurring, such as trees, or cultivated crops. When landlords sell their property, plant life is automatically included in the sale, unless the parties agree otherwise.
Fixtures. Fixtures are goods that have become attached to real property. A house (which is real property) contains many fixtures. The chandelier and the faucets were good when they were sold to the builder because they were moveable. When the builder attached them to the house, the items became fixtures. By comparison, neither the refrigerator nor a grand piano is a fixture.
Landlord-Tenant Law
Landlord-tenant law is a combination of three areas of law; property, contract, and negligence. The analysis of the different types of tenancy consists of the following:
Property law. Owning land is a freehold estate. This is the right to possess real property and use it in any lawful manner for an indefinite time. When an owner of a freehold estate allows another person temporary, exclusive possession of property, the parties have created a landlord-tenant relationship. When the owner of a freehold estate allows another person temporary, exclusive possession of the property, the parties have created a landlord-tenant relationship.
The owner is the landlord, and the person allowed to possess the property is the tenant. The landlord has conveyed a leasehold interest to the tenant, meaning the right to temporary possessions. The landlord is keeping a reversionary interest in the property, meaning the right to possess the property when the lease ends.
Contract law. Contract law as discussed in Chapter 7, plays a role because the basic agreement is between the landlord and tenant is a contract. A lease is a contract that creates a landlord-tenant relationship. The Statute of Frauds generally requires that a long-term lease be in writing. A long-term lease is one year or more; anything shorter is usually enforceable without a writing. Even when an oral lease is permitted, it is wiser for the parties to put their agreement in writing because a written lease avoids many misunderstandings. At a minimum, a lease must state the names of the parties, the premises being leases, the duration of the agreement, and the rent. A well-drafted lease generally includes many provisions, called covenants and conditions.
Tort Law. As discussed in Chapter 6 in the textbook, Tort law pertains to negligence. The law of negligence determines the liability of landlord and tenant when there is an injury to a person or property.
