This booklet will be given out at information sessions and will be sent to students requesting more information. The department chair asks you to create this booklet with the undecided student in mind, remembering that while you don't want to scare students away, you also want to be truthful about the field. She asks for the following information to be included:

- Three aspects of the American judicial system
- How psychology has impacted these aspects
- One research study for each aspect that is considered pivotal, classic or ground breaking in the field.

However, a minority of the information can be written in bulleted format.
