Write in your own voice.

Textbook: Jerold H. Israel, Yale Kamisar, and Wayne La Fave, Criminal Procedure and the Constitution: Leading Supreme Court Cases and Introductory Text (2020)
Directions:
There are 2 essay questions you must complete, each worth 100 points for a total of 200 points. Think of them as our discussion board assignments (with no student responses), each question must be a minimum of 600 words (1.2 pages single-spaced, twelve-point font, one inch margins) not including your references, and please do not copy the question as part of your response.
Please no plagiarism. I will be checking for originality.
You must include textbook citations and a minimum of two (2) outside scholarly sources per essay question.
• Appropriate scholarly sources include articles from academic journals, textbooks, Supreme Court cases, appellate cases, and government reports (e.g., National Institute of Justice).
• Magazines (e.g., Newsweek) and open-source websites (e.g., Wikipedia) are NOT suitable sources for the final exam. The use of such sources will decrease your score.
I am NOT looking for your unsupported opinions – your cites to the text book, court cases, and outside scholarly sources will be the support for your answers. For example, the bare statement “I don’t think plea bargaining is fair because it encourages innocent people to sometimes admit guilt” will get no credit. However, if you can support that statement with scholarly references and give specific documented examples, you will do fine. It will require research, so please give yourself enough time.
Begin each essay on a new page and have a separate reference list for each essay. You must provide specific page numbers to your cites, it is never okay to cite to a source generally without pinpointing where you found your support.
Combine all essays into a single Word or PDF document.
Primarily rely on, and be sure to fully incorporate, the assigned course materials.
− However, you must also be sure to use outside sources that supplement and enhance your responses.
− Remember: The outside sources you choose must be academic and scholarly.
2. Write in your own voice.
− Sparingly use direct quotes (especially long ones), and paraphrase more often.
− YOUR understanding of the topics—not the textbook’s author—is most important for your grade.
I will send the questions as an attachment.
