Fully describe Kagan’s typology of legal systems. Use a concrete example of a criminal offense to illustrate each of them.  This question is worth 50 points or 1/3 of your grade.  So please treat this with the seriousness it deserves. Allocate your time so that 1/3 of it is spent on this single question. Do not write an introductory paragraph or a lengthy conclusion.  State your thesis in the very first sentence.  Wrap up your essay in one sentence — your last one.  The rest should be spent on the meat of the essay. I expect 4 well written paragraphs  here.  An “A” answer will be thorough and give specific examples to illustrate your main points. Good luck
