My final assignment for my Writing 5 class, the American Criminal INjustice System, was a 15 page research paper. The assignment was relatively open-ended, and I chose to write about a pressing issue that mixed law and neuroscience, two areas of interest for me. The paper covered recent attempts to bring brain imaging technology into the courtroom, a controversial movement which I argue is coming far too fast.

I chose this paper as my best Writing 5 piece because I put a huge amount of effort into research for it, and was happy with the result, especially when considering such a contemporary issue. The paper was difficult, but ultimately I felt that the result showed the effort I put into it.
