Lesson 2: History of the Courts
Thought Provoking Exercise
Discussion Question:
Should our government guarantee all criminal defendants the right to trial by jury? Think about how the Bill of Rights came into existence and think about whether the right to trial is still appropriate today. What about the cost of the legal system? Include these three points and any other thoughts you may have in your response.
Post your thoughts to the Lesson 02 Thought Provoking Exercise discussion forum. Be sure to return later in the week to respond to at least two other students' posts. In other words, you should have three postings by the end of the week. The first should contain your response to the questions in the paragraph above. Your second and third postings should respond to postings made by your fellow classmates. Enjoy!
