Prof Baguilat's 2nd email

Hi Grace:

The other reply I sent you contained Neil's email message about the original topic. Please refer to that.

On the first alternative topic, I suggest you look into it more so you know what exactly you are looking for.

On the second topic, please confirm my understanding that your focus will be on public lawyers. Though they are part of the executive branch, these lawyers are also officers of the court. So, this topic can be explored in this class. Please note, though, that Group 3 (Adrian, Jovit, Jenna, Paul, and Can) will deal with salary of judges and corruption.

The third topic is something you can also consider. Aside from the materials, I have difficulty coming up with a suitable methodology to draw up a reasonable conclusion. How will you treat data, if any, to show that there indeed was influence? Will you interview judges to confirm? Do you think they will even give you an audience? Many of these dealings are normally done behind closed doors.

Thank you.
