The Hammurabi Law Code Seek and Appraise Game

OK, I just made this one up. It might be fun or it might be dumb in any case, this is what you do;

a) Find a law in Hammurabi's law code. (There are 282 laws. Some are listed in your text, you can search your data base which your library card gives you access, first come first served- no law may be used by two different students.)

b) Paraphrase the law in this blog. Be sure to use the number of the law.

and

c) Evaluate the law in this blog. Do you think it is fair? Would it be a good idea for our society?

Now doesn't that sound fun! The assignment is worth 15 points and you have until Labor Day to get this done. Act soon because this will get more difficult!
