FOUR!

Did'ga know that...
There are actually “actors” in a courtroom? The ‘lead roles’ are the judges, the prosecutors, and the defense attorneys. They are in charge of what is said and done in the courtroom. The ‘supporting roles’ are defendants, the witnesses, and the jury. They just provide reasons for the lead roles to be there.

Did'ga know that...
There are four different types of jurisdiction? There is personal, subject matter, geographical, and hierarchical. Personal jurisdiction is the authority the court has over a person that comes in contact with the court in some way shape or form. Subject matter jurisdiction covers a particular type of case. Geographical jurisdiction has to do with where the court is located. And hierarchical involves the different duties of the court levels.

I graded your first four posts. I think you present a very unique perspective. I don't want you to change it too much. But, something you're missing is reflection on your learning. How are you responding emotionally and/or intellectually to the material we are learning?

Also, you'll need to include external links relevant to your posts. See the assignment sheet for direction.
