As I noted during our class before the break, I might post the description of our final short essay assignment before our next class meeting. Well, here it is --
Essay III
11/28/11
A. In the context of the early trials and convictions of the Tulia defendants, which resulted in exceedingly long sentences (covered up to Part Three, p. 179 in the book), I want you to write a 3-page essay discussing how such an obvious miscarriage of justice was possible. Specifically, I want you to identify and discuss any TWO factors which contributed to this miscarriage of justice. And between the two factors you discuss, which ONE do you believe represents the greatest threat to the proper functioning of our court system in general.
B. As noted above, the essay should be roughly 3 pages. Be sure to indicate page number(s) of any passage(s) from the book which you quote in your essay.
C. This essay is due on TUESDAY, DEC. 6TH. It is worth 25 points.
