What do you want to know?
Ok class, your blog assignment today is to write about the things you want to learn about concerning the law, lawyers, social services (victim's advocates, child and protective services), politics, law enforcement, civil rights movements and figures, etc. The more detailed you are the better Mrs. Coy and I can be in incorporating these requests into our future lessons.

I want to learn everything, especially about law enforcement and stuff like that.
ReplyDeleteI want to learn about how the government was founded, how laws came to be, the different types of lawyers and what they do, how things have changed since the Declaration of Independence.
ReplyDeleteI want to learn about the part of law dealing with things like from Law & Order, like detective work, and what it takes to be the profession you would want to pursue. Learning about the different laws out there, and the foundation of our laws would be interesting too.
ReplyDeleteI want to know more about the court of law, as in laws themselves. I want to know what's legal where, and what's illegal. I want to know how to defend someone on my feet without months of preparation. I want to know about criminal justice. Even though I know government and politics are important, I'd rather focus on the basics I'm going to need to be able to recite and elaborate on when I'm nan attourney. I want to be preared to deal with the law, and the reasons for it.
ReplyDeleteI would like to learn as much as i can about the Law, I want to learn about famous court cases. I would like to learn about how a court case works, and what tactics lwayers have tried in a court case that has been most successful. I think it would be really neat to just sit in on a court case. I'd like to see two lawyers at work, batteling against each others cases. I thing it would be pretty awesome if we took a field trip to Indianapolis and checked out some cases, or even downtown evansville would be benificial. I would like you guys to teach me everything you can about law. Everything you can, even if I end up not getting into Law as an occupation, I still would love to learn. If we can figure out a way to go to Washington D.C. I personally think that that would be an unbelievable experience. If we can have different types of lawyers come in and teach lessons on law, that would help I think. I also would enjoy doing actual court cases here in class. Anything you can teach me that would help me become a successful lawyer would be much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI would like to about politics more and learn more about the justice system
ReplyDeleteI think if we went to Washington D.C. sometime we should visit Mt. Vernon where George Washington lived since it is close to the D.C. area.
ReplyDeleteI want to learn more about gay marriage. I personally believe that is wrong to tell people they cannot marry because they are same sex. I think as long as people are happy they should be able to marry whoever they want wether it be man and woman, man and man, or woman and woman. I would also like to learn more about law enforcement!
ReplyDeleteI would like to learn as much as possible about social justice. Specifically, I am very interested in the court system and how it works. I would like to learn about the process of a case and all the different jobs that go into it. I also want to learn how to back a case up and successfully persuade people and make a just point.
ReplyDeleteI would like to learn about criminal cases and law enforcement.
ReplyDeleteI would like to learn about Law Enforcement. I would also like to learn more about diffrent types of lawyers. I am interested in criminal cases as well as family court.
ReplyDeleteI would also like to learn about the processes of a case and how it works.
ReplyDeleteI would like to learn about how the political system and court systems work. I am very interested in things like corporate law and what it takes to be a lawyer. I am also interested in how politics affect our ways of living.
ReplyDeleteI would like to learn about all the lawyers there are. I would like to learn about Forensics science. I would also to learn how to break down a real life case, and learn how to determined if someone is guilty or innocent.
ReplyDeleteI would learn how law effects our daily lives, I would also like to learn how politics affects laws. I would also like to learn about the different court systems and proceedings. I think it would be nice to meet different types of attorneys. Such as but not limited to prosecuting attorneys, defense attorneys, corporate attorneys. It also would be interesting to meet local and state politicians.
ReplyDeleteI want to learn about social services and different aspects of things you don't normally hear about. I want to know about different job opportunities or even job shadowing opportunities. I wanted to be in this academy so I can learn about law and different ways to help people. I don't know what I want to do when I get into college and I hoping to learn more about the jobs in social justice. I also want to learn about the court system and the behind the scenes. I would like to take a field trip to the court to see what goes on. I also like Forensic Science.
ReplyDeleteI am interested in learning what each individual type of lawyer does, such as patent lawyers, divorce lawyers, entertainment lawyers, etc. When I tell people that my dream is to become a lawyer, they also ask which kind, and I really have no answer. I would value an oppurtunity to speak with as many types of lawyers (and judges) as possible to help with that decision. Also, I would love to learn a lot about politics and running for public office. Examples would be how the math in polls work and how diffent politicians tailor their messages for different groups of people. I would also be interested in seeing firsthand where the lawmakers work, so a trip to any type of capital would be beneficial.
