BOOK**Courts and Criminal Justice in America, 3rd Edition Larry J Siegel; Frank Schmalleger; John L. Worrall

10 KEY TERMS**

dual federalism…adjudication…stare decisis…precedent…misdemeanor…deposition…wired court…infraction…tort…injunctive relief

The key terms should meet the criteria provided below:

terms for the different types of technology used in court,

proper names of alternatives to trial,

the name and description of crimes that may be heard in court, and

historical development of the courts.

You are required to use your textbook and at least one other source for this assignment. The additional source can be a CSU Online Library article, an Internet article, or an article from a professional journal.

For each key term in your PowerPoint presentation, you should include the following information:

the term,

the definition of the term,

your familiarity with this term (i.e., is it new to you?), and

your opinion about the importance of this item in the context of the judicial process.

Your PowerPoint presentation must be at least 10 slides in length, not counting the title and reference slides. All sources used, including the textbook, must be cited and referenced according to APA Style.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
