CJA 224: Reflection about the learning modules and simulation
Chapter 8
This module was very informative. The module provided detail information in regards to the history and the organizations of the courts. Looking back on the primitive days leading up to modern day court system the same elements still exist. The best module I liked was the courtroom rules. In this module, it showed the key player and their roles. Now I have a better understand as to what each duty is. I learned the difference between grand jury and trial jury. Grand jury, may consist of up to 23 jurors, and serve for a particular period and may serve on multiple juries at one time. They handle cases that are high-profile. They are able
to require testimony and tangible evidences. This juror is used to bring an indictment protects law enforcement from accusation of bias. Trial juror consists of 6 -12 jurors, serve only for the duration of the trial and decides the facts of the case with very strict and controlled procedures by the judge.
In addition to the module, the video was helpful because it describes a typical day of a judge. The video was like a real life experience working as a judge, prosecutor, and a defense attorney. In the second video, relating to issue 1: The affect of the backlog of cases on the court, she discussed how long it takes to complete one case, approximately 15 hours. She also describes how OJ Simpson case moved fairly quickly through the court processes the courts.
The activities were very helpful. They were like a refresher at the end of the reading and knowledge check. I enjoy these activities because it a good interaction tool with learning and having fun at the same time.
