The elements of the post and comment are as described in the previous posts and on the syllabus.
Write brief summary (5-10 sentences), including definition and main points, of an area we covered in the Melton textbook or assigned article or case law that week—include citation and at end include the reference in legal or APA reference format. For instance, if focused on competency to be sentenced, write what competency to be sentenced is and a couple of points about it from ourreading.
b) Find (in popular, academic, legal, art etc., sources) and summarize (5-10 sentences summarizing what you have found and providing a couple of main points) and reference (provide link/reference) a current example of something relevant to this topic found in a newspaper article, video/film, new case or supreme court decision, new treatment type/method, or new research supporting or debunking. So for instance if we are reading about not guilty by reason of insanity you may want to find a current newspaper article about a case and how it is being viewed in a particular state or if we are discussing competency for search and seizure, the recent dissent by Justice Sotomayor to the Supreme Court decision on the 4th amendment (Utah v. Strief, https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/15pdf/14-1373_83i7.pdf) may be of interest.
c) Write nd post a comment on someone else’s comment or combine with your posting; your response comment on another student’s comment/information can be a full discussion or as short as one to two sentences.
The topic from the book is Civil Commitment I believe it’s chapters 5-6
