One case writeup, one discussion and two replies

Rosemary Mosco

One case writeup, one discussion and two replies

Your write-up should be 1 to 2 pages, single spaced, at standard type face (12 or 14 point).
It should briefly (in very few sentences) lay out the basic facts of the case. These are usually generally agreed upon by the time it gets to final appeal stage; i.e., the Supreme Court of a Federal District court.
What is much more important is the issue at law – the dispute about what the law means or how it should be interpreted.
What was the majority of the court’s decision in the case, and – more importantly – what was the basic reasoning behind this decision?
If you are asked to read a dissent in the case, what was the decision and reasoning in the minority?
Do you agree or disagree with the court’s decision? Explain why.

This week we also have one case writeup which I am going to send you over now. And please include your references in the response. You can cite certain external references as well to support your argument.

This is this week’s discussion question:

Historic Financial Scam: Eddie Antar — Crazy Eddie

Please research the above historic financial scam that connects to our laws today, present your learning to your group, learn from group members’ posts, and have conversations with others. Each original discussion post should explain: (please include 2-3 external references)

Who are the key players?
What was the financial scam or scheme?
What laws were violated? Or, if the scam is really old, what current laws would have been violated?
What was the response to the scam of government regulators? Did it lead to any changes in the law?

I will send you over this week’s lectures as well.

I will send you the other two students’ post later once they post them. You can work on the case writeup and the original discussion post first 🙂

Rosemary Mosco

Law & Society PPT Project

Throughout the course, there has been various topics covered on the intersection of law, justice, and society. Students may choose one of the topics used in Assignments to elaborate for the Final Project.

Students are tasked with creating a video tutorial that is 3-5 minutes that addresses the following questions: *I will have you set up the ppt & write out the narration in paper format so I can read off*

What do you see as the biggest challenge in the criminal justice system?
What solutions do you believe can be implemented by the criminal justice system to overcome those challenges?

The video must be instructional in nature and essentially a tutorial that answers the questions using scholarly, peer-reviewed sources accessible through the Ingram Library and Google Scholar. The video can be structured to best portray the information which can include, but not limited to, an interactive tour, a narrated slideshow, an animation, or other media that is professionally appropriate. *We are doing a slideshow*

The goal of the project is for the student to demonstrate their knowledge of peer-reviewed studies on the topic and translating the information that is currently relevant.

Requirements:

Each student must complete their own individual video
Video must be within 3-5 minutes (shorter or longer videos will be penalized)

Students must have the following components in the video:

“My name is [First and Last name] and this video is for Law & Society final project with Dr. Mills. Today, I will discuss [your topic here].”
Briefly explain the background of your topic with definitions and current statistics.
Where did you find your information/articles? (provide tutorial on how you retrieved the information)
Answer the following questions using scholarly sources: What do you see as the biggest challenges in the criminal justice system? What solutions do you believe can be implemented by the criminal justice system to overcome those challenges?
“Again, my name is [First and Last name] and this concludes the Law & Society final project with Dr. Mills.”

Here are topics we have talked about throughout the semester that you can choose from: Family, Place, Religion, Class Race and Gender, Criminal and Civil Justice, Technology, Nature. let me know which one you choose and I will attach some readings and notes from that topic
