Additional Course Details:

Natural Born Killers vs. Breaking Bad
This course explores possible factors that may influence young males to engage in violent crime by looking at the relative influence of nature (i.e., are they are “natural born killers?”) and nurture (i.e., are they “breaking bad?”). Because Justice Studies is a very broad and interdisciplinary field of study, this topic can be approached from many perspectives. The overarching perspective that will be adopted here comes from developmental psychology. However, other perspectives may be introduced, including legal perspectives.

Additional Course Details:

Granite State Justice: Historical Issues and Contemporary Controversies in New Hampshire Courts
This course will focus on the judicial branch of our own state. We will begin with a consideration of the long struggle over judicial independence in New Hampshire, then proceed to the apparent apogee of that struggle: teh impeachment crisis of 2000 (including an examination of the still controversial Claremont rulings). We will then move on to some NH court cases that have had national implications; and conclude with an investigation of current scandals involving aspects of our juvenile-justice system. The course will feature several guest speakers with first-hand knowledge of issues we'll be considering.

The issues that have characterized New Hampshire's judicial history are deeply rooted in our founding and broadest civic values, so our perspective will be primarily historical, legalistic, and philosophical. Class discussion and organized debates will be vital parts of the course, as will the research and writing assignments common to senior seminars.

Additional Course Details:

Justice on the Big Screen: Separating Fact or Fiction from Hollywood's Legal Drama's:
Have you ever watched a movie about a famous trial and asked, “Is that what really happened?” For example, fact or fiction: In the movie Just Mercy, was Walter Macmillan really sentenced to death for a crime he didn’t commit or was that just Hollywood fiction? Fact or fiction, in the movie The Trial of the Chicago 7, was the defendant Bobby Seale really bound, gagged and shackled to his chair in open court or was that too just Hollywood fiction? Fact or fiction: Was Tom Cruise’s character in A Few Good Men, real or just a Hollywood character? Was it real or just fiction on a movie reel?

In this course we will examine some of the famous trials that became the basis for Hollywood movies, watch the movies, read about the trials and examine the trial records and history of those cases to answer the question of whether the movies are Fact or Fiction. In doing so, students will learn about a variety of cases on subjects such as the death penalty, the 1^st Amendment, religion and the law, race and slavery, the right to counsel, environmental cases, the Salem witch trials and more. Students will also learn about the trial process and how cases make it from the court room to the movie theater.

The course draws upon the multidisciplinary class makeup to read, study, watch the movies and present on those cases. There are reading and writing assignments for each class and group presentations.
