UNIT 4- LEGAL SYSTEMS
Week of April 13:
-For the first class of the week, please watch the Unit 4 PP and you can begin researching further about Public Defenders, Bail, or Plea Bargains. If you would like to write a one pager, I would be happy to read it and offer feedback to you. If you are interested, there is a really interesting long video (about an hour and a half) only on plea bargains linked below, really talking about some of the negative aspects of them.
UPDATE- WED. APRIL 15
-I have added two additional assignments for this unit (#3 and #4) on the list below.
-I also sent an email out this morning to those interested in finishing up the Political Parties Project. If you did not get that email and are interested in participating, please let me know.
-As a reminder, I will have Office Hours on Google Meet from 1-2PM Monday-Thursday this week if there is anything you would like to discuss about this unit or any questions you have. You can also reach me via email.
