Focus of the Final Paper
Prepare a six to ten page paper

justice process for a felony criminal charge filed in a state court. Your paper
will include all of the steps between arrest through pre-trial, trial, and
appeals (both state and federal appeal possibilities). You must address
contingencies for each stage of the proceedings and examine all possible
outcomes. Your paper should be organized chronologically for how the process
occurs, and provide analyses of how constitutional protections for the
defendant work at each stage of the proceeding. Provide critical analyses,
where appropriate, of whether the system effectively deals with criminal
prosecutions, or whether changes or improvements are required. You may ask
questions of your professor in either the classroom’s “Questions and Concerns”
discussion board area or through email. Students can supplement their papers
with interviews of people involved in the criminal justice field which will
lend credibility to the research paper and the findings presented
