For this project, your case review will take the format of an annotated bibliography and include a mix of legal case law, peer-reviewed scholarly articles (from academic journals and/or databases), and other credible sources that relate to your chosen legal topic. All sources should relate to Canadian law.Create an annotated bibliography that includes a minimum of 5 sources pertaining to your topic.
● At least 1 of your sources must be from a case highlighted in law about your topic or a legal precedent setting about your topic: R. v. Morgentaler, [1988] 1 SCR30. -My example has a legal precedence as its outcome.
● At least 1 source could be from a legal precedent setting case that impacted a different case outcome. (This could mean that you discover a legal precedent that was used in determining the outcome of a case about your topic that informed a judge’s decision about the matter.) For instance, one of the judges in determining the outcome of the R. v. Morgentaler, [1988] 1 SCR30 case, Justice Dickson’s used the following cases to base his legal decision, which was in the descent:
Referred to: Morgentaler v. The Queen, [1976] 1 S.C.R. 616; Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973); Paton v.

Shipley (1784), 4 Dougl. 73, 99 E.R. 774; United States v. Dougherty, 473 F.2d 1113 (1972).
● At least 1 of your sources should be a peer-reviewed scholarly article from academic journals when possible. In my examples I use the National Institute of Health (NIH)
● Other sources that are not from peer-reviewed academic journals must be credible. Use the C.R.A.P. test (Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose) to evaluate the credibility of these sources.
○ Academic sources that are not peer-reviewed journal articles include: video-clips (e.g., TEDTalks, recorded academic lectures), books, encyclopedias, and research studies
○ Non-academic sources include: reports, magazine articles, newspaper articles, and blogs (and sources from communities directly impacted by the research problem/ question)
● One source should be the opposing view of your position on the topic if possible
Steps for Each Source
Step 1: Find sources that pertain specifically to your research problem and/or question.
● To search for peer-reviewed journal articles and other academic sources, use subscription databases provided for you by the Board (Ebsco and Gale databases as explained by the Teacher-Librarian, and JSTOR if at GCVI). Google Scholar is an option if you search for web sources, but you must still be mindful of sorting and evaluating the results.
Step 2: Once you have found a source that you want to use, create the APA citation for the source and add it to your annotated bibliography. (Remember to keep sources in alphabetical order down the page.)
● Remember to check that your citation is in the correct format using OWL Purdue. As we have learned, citation machines (e.g., NoodleTools and Google Doc) can get the format incorrect.
Step 3: Write your descriptive annotation (100-200 words) for the source, which includes:
● Information about the author of the source
○ How is the author qualified to write on this topic?
● A summary of the source’s ideas and its conclusions
○ What are the main arguments, evidence presented, and conclusions?
● How does the source apply to your research problem and/or question? Task 3: Write a short response paragraph defending a position on your topic
● Introductory sentence clearly reveals your topic and states a legal position for or against the topic in regards to how it is handled legally.
● Body sentences should reflect source material, with citations, as these support your position.
● Conclude your response with a final thought on your topic. MY TOPIC IS ABOUT FAMILY LAW MATTERS
