Judiciary of Puerto Rico

Research Paper: You must create a court system for the newly created state of Puerto Rico. To be certain you understand how courts are organized in other states, you must research the current state court systems of Virginia, Washington State and Texas, and use those systems to create Puerto Rico?s system. You must describe your proposal for creating Puerto Rico?s municipal courts, major trial courts, appellate courts, and the state?s highest court. Remember to provide citations when you borrow some idea or structure from another state. How will the courts be structured geographically, for example? You must also describe how judges will be chosen for each court and must discuss how judicial and attorney ethical standards will be structured and enforced. You should conduct basic research on Puerto Rico (size, geography, population, existing counties or municipios, etc.) to be certain your proposed system will actually work. The body (not including cover page, works cited/bibliography, etc.) of the paper must be a minimum of 10pages in length, double spaced, using a 12-point font such as Times New Roman. A works cited page or bibliography (depending on the citation system used) must be included.
