Finals must be uploaded via Canvas by 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, December 11th. If you have technological difficulties with Canvas, email your exams directly to your TA. You will be graded on your knowledge of course material (both lectures and reading), the strength and clarity of your argument, and your ability to analyze and apply what you have learned. Your response should be 5-8 pages in length, double-spaced, with standard font size and margins (or comparable length for those entering text directly into Canvas). This is the total page limit for all questions combined. You must respond to all of the below questions. Please only use course material (i.e., assigned reading and lectures). If you choose to quote the articles or cases, you need only to include the case name or last name of the article’s author and the page number(s) in parentheses following the quote. For example, (Sundquist, p. 765) or (Lange v. California, p. 4). Briefly explain Bazelon’s two views of criminal law. How do these two different world views impact advocacy for and protection of the rights of the accused? (20 points) We’ve discussed how the promise of equal rights for the accused and justice for all is not always reflected in the execution of laws and outcomes of legal proceedings. Briefly explain how two of the following areas provide examples of a potential failure of the justice system to provide equal protection: the right to counsel, disparity in sentencing (including the death penalty), the right to an impartial jury, sexual harassment, and/or pregnancy discrimination. Be clear about the legal reasoning as well as the impact (or lack thereof) of applicable court decisions. (40 points) Both Sundquist and Faulkner argue for race-conscious approaches in the law. Briefly explain their arguments. While similar, they do address different concerns. How would the adoption of one of these approaches (either Sundquist’s or Faulkner’s) impact stop-and frisk policies or the assessment of allowable police action when a suspect flees? (40 points)
