Legal Essay with Oral Defence

0 milestones · 10 weeks

Write a substantive legal essay (minimum 1,500 words) on a contested legal question, with full citation of primary sources and a clearly defended position. The essay alone is not sufficient proof. Proof requires a documented oral or written defence: a qualified lawyer or law academic challenges your central argument; your responses are recorded or documented in writing and submitted alongside the essay. The defence is not optional — it is the proof standard for this outcome. A documented written challenge-and-response exchange is acceptable where an oral session is not possible.

Original Philosophical Argument with Socratic Defence

0 milestones · 12 weeks

Construct an original philosophical argument (minimum 1,000 words) on a real contested philosophical question. State a clear thesis, defend it with premises and supporting reasoning, acknowledge the strongest objection, and respond to it. The Socratic dialogue is a REQUIRED component of this outcome — not optional. A qualified philosopher, logician, or philosophy academic poses at least four substantive challenges to your argument; your responses are recorded or documented in writing. The full exchange — both the challenges and your responses — is submitted alongside the original argument. This outcome cannot be completed without a real qualified interlocutor: the dialogue is the proof, not a supplement to it. The essay alone is not sufficient.
