20 Page Research Paper Outline
How to Write a 20 Page Research Paper in Under a Day
So you've procrastinated again. You told yourself you wouldn't do this 2 months ago when your professor assigned you this. But you procrastinated anyway. Shame on you. It's due in a few hours. What are you going to do?
Pick a Topic ← The more "legally-oriented" your topic is, the better. You'll see why. ← It has to be something you feel strongly about. Strong as in it makes you want to open your window and yell and shake your fist about it at joggers passing by. That strong. ← It also has to be something that you already know some stuff about. ← It also needs to have some depth to it. It can't be like "We should have free pizza in lecture every Friday". That's lame. …show more content…
← ...of any instances where this topic has come in the news. ← ...what you would do about this topic if you had the chance/power/enough-sugar ← ...any little detail you can think of
The important thing about this is to think of ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, no matter how silly or far-fetched. It'll make your professor go "hmm, didn't think about that one". You can even get your friends to help you with this one. The more the merrier. It's best to do this on a computer, because...

When it comes time to quote the source, remember this: There are over 6 billion people in the world. There are countless newspapers and other sources that document people doing...stuff. If you list incidents that are generic enough and your topic isn't extremely weird, at least one person out there has done something notable/stupid/crazy enough to make it to the news. Also, people have sued each other over everything imaginable. Find a court case database. Your topic has SOMEHOW manifested itself in court at some point in history. I can almost guarantee it. Just make sure that the situations you come up with are physically possible.
Now, list everything that could be construed to be the answer to the question "if elected, what would you do about this issue?"
It's best to keep all this in the form of an outline.
Spaces
Now add several lines of space under each bullet. Keep adding spaces until your text document has reached the goal size of your paper.
Now print it out.
