Our last (sniff) unit together

Here are some links to some helpful sites to get you through these last two weeks.

A great interactive map to help you understand the location and organization of the US District Courts, US Appeals Courts, US Supreme court, and all other federal courts-http://www.uscourts.gov/courtlinks/

A direct link to the US Supreme Court-http://www.supremecourtus.gov/

A link to Landmark Supreme Court cases that you can choose to use if you like to help you complete your landmark court case assignment-http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/cases/topic.htm

Finally a must read for everyone!!! The Power of the Federal Courts. Pay particular attention to the last section regarding Judicial Activism vs Judicial Restraint. You will need to know the difference between these 2 rather complex philosophies.
At the bottom of the above website is a short 10 question quiz. Take it. If you get them all right you are ready for your final on teh Judicial Branch.


Enjoy the Judicial Branch! Mr. Thompson
