I. PROPOSED TOPIC:

A research Topic maybe:

 a novel subject of law
 a controversial issue involving the law or legal institutions
 a question of law not resolved yet by the courts
 assessment/ evaluation/analysis of viability and effectiveness of
any approved reform project of the judiciary or
 analysis of any significant law to determine its adeptness,
needed amendment, or effective implementation

Be ready with alternative topics, should the topic submitted be rejected.

II. TITLE:

The title must be concise, accurate, stimulating, attractive in some sense,

provocative, and in exact term it is like an adequate index, the subject- matter of the
study (main topic), the specific issue (research problem), and the mode of inquiry
(methodology) desired depending on the nature of the problem.

It is not too detailed yet, is succinctly appropriate to the nature of the

problem and the method to be used.
The title must just be the right information on the right problem and its
corresponding conclusion.
It must be stimulating and attractive in a sense that it must encourage
the reader to read and research. It must excite or incite curiosity on the subject
matter.
It must precisely express the problem and its solution, if any. It must be
direct to the point.

This is often formulated first even before the start of the research study;
it may be open to further revisions as the writing progresses.

The title has a close affinity with how the problem statement is
formulated.

III. ABSTRACT:

This section is limited to 100-150 words (approximately 12-15 lines),

singly spaced. It describes the subject matter of your research, or what you
intend in your research.
