Intro to the Law #3: Separation of Powers, Court Systems, and Jury Nullification Wednesday, Aug 17 2005
1L and Intro to the Law and Neil Wehneman and University of Cincinnati College of Law 3:53 pm
In this episode we examine the separation of powers, how Congress is able to regulate (or not regulate) the States, how the state and federal courts are constructed, and examine the issue of jury nullification (intentionally letting a guilty party go free at trial).
Note: I believe I gave an erroneous date on the Articles of Confederation being created. They were adopted in 1781.
The Articles of Confederation
Plaut v. Spendthrift Farm, Inc.
Lampf v. Gilbertson
Miller v. French
Nevada Dept. of Human Resources v. Hibbs
Gonzales v. Raich
United States v. Lopez
United States v. Morrison
Wickard v. Filburn
Sparf v. US (1895 jury nullification case)
Unfortunately I was unable to find copies of the jury nullification papers on the Internet.
