Your paper can be written about a certain court case (appellate level) or an area of the law in which you discuss more than one court case.  If your paper is on only one court case, it should be a really important case in that area of the law and should be an in depth discussion of that case.  If it is a paper on an area of law, you can compare and contrast more than one court case (appellate level).  This paper is supposed to be analytical, not merely descriptive.
