Students are expected to keep a journal on current issues related to constitutional criminal law.
Each student will be required to compile a journal of their readings on current events (nothing
over 6 months old) in the criminal justice field, specific to constitutional issues in the news. The
journal will include the original article and a student summary of the article on its applications
to class material. Students must have a minimum of 5 entries by the final due date. DO NOT
simply rehash or summarize the article. Additional instructions are posted in Brightspace.
Students must think about the event that is described and use that as a springboard for
intelligent commentary.
