As a court clerk, understanding criminal case processes and procedures will enable you to support the judge, lawyers, plaintiffs, and defendants in a courtroom.
Some tasks may include precise record-keeping, writing, and reviewing court documents for various stages of a criminal case. A clear understanding of criminal case processes will be crucial.
Research and review a criminal case that uses one of the common defense justifications you learned in your chapter readings this week.
Provide a link to a summary or news report of the case.
Give a brief overview of the case. Include the defense's argument and the case ruling.
Consider the following questions as you conduct your research:
1. What evidence did the defense attorney provide in an effort to prove the argument?
2. What evidence did the prosecutor provide in an effort to dispute or disprove the defense's argument?
3. Do you agree with the case ruling? Why or why not?
