3 classroom credits LAW-30229A
With mythic origins in Magna Carta, a history intimately connected with 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.
