  2. Equal Justice Under the Law Section 1

  3. Objectives • Summarize the powers the Constitution gives to the Supreme Court and to other federal courts • Explain how laws both guarantee and limit freedom • Categorize crimes according to type of law

  4. Equal Justice…. • What does ‘equal justice under the law’ mean?

  5. The Code • Example from 1780 BC

  6. Nation of Laws

  7. Category of Law – Criminal Law

  8. Category of Law – Civil Law

  9. Formative Assessment

  10. Law Activity – part I • For the first four articles, characterize them as Civil or Criminal Law. Be sure to jot down why you made a particular selection.

  11. Statutory Law – type of law Majority rule – right and wrong Some civil laws – fire exits & handicap access • Laws passed by lawmaking bodies (like Congress). • Most criminal laws

  12. Common Law – type of law Precedent – an earlier court decision Rely on common sense Judges/courts make decisions based on customs, traditions, and cases decided before

  13. Administrative Law – type of law • Health, safety, education • Warning labels on cigarettes • Recall toys Made by government agencies

  14. Example: 6th Amendment – ‘assistance of counsel’ • 1963: Gideon v. Wainwright – states must now give free legal aid to those who can’t afford it Constitutional Law – type of law Laws based on the Constitution and Supreme Court decisions (judicial review)

  15. Law activity • For the second four articles determine if they are Administrative, Constitutional, Common, or Statutory law. Again, jot down why.

  16. Roles of Courts • Use four types to settle disputes in the two categories of law • People vs. People - civil • Society vs. Person/People - criminal • Government represents society

  17. Appeal • Asking a higher court to review your case and the outcome for mistakes • How might something like racism (think of the video that we saw at the start of class) lead to an appeal in a criminal jury trial?

  18. Formative Assessment • Step One: Journal a situation where you were unfairly punished (length, type, innocence, etc.) • Step Two: Which of the four rights would you have benefited from and why? (The ones we covered under ‘roles of courts’)

  19. Closure • Complete your exit ticket manually, or send me the answer via text after taking a picture of the QR Code
