Describe the components of a research proposal.

The research's beginning is not a method but a discomfort — the felt gap: the doctrine's puzzle (the two NKP lines that don't reconcile), the practice's itch (the execution docket's clog), the reform's question (the statute's failure in the field), the curiosity's spark (the seminar's unanswered question). The sources of realisation: the caseload's patterns (the lawyer's own files), the literature's margins (the articles' "further research needed"), the policy's debates (the amendment bills' questions), the field's observations (the courtroom's realities), and the supervisor's prodding. The realisation's discipline: the irritation must become an intellectualquestion — the first transformation of research.
