Professor Charles R. Nesson
2 classroom credits LAW-30229A
With mythic origins in Magna Carta, a history intimately connected with
historic struggles for liberty, cornerstone of constitutions of the
states and United States of America, the american jury was once the
bulwark of our liberty and the foundation of our law. Our class will
engage the jury as history and practice. We will find it sick,
institutionally speaking, weakened by racism wrapped in legalism, and
urgently in need of competent legal representation, which we will seek
to provide.
Eclectic readings, audio-visual assignments, group work, supervised paper.
