Due Process
The Due Process module explores the meaning and purpose of due process. It is accomplished through a story inside a story. The opening story concerns kids coming home from a concert after curfew. As it turns out, the curfew storyline is really a movie. When the director (who is Justice) yells “cut,” one of the actors says that he really does not understand what’s going on. Using movies, Justice explains due process.
Civil Trial Process
The Civil Trial Process module explores how courts resolve conflict and covers both torts and contracts as examples of civil cases. The module also illustrates civil trial process through a story about a juggler who loses control of his balls and injures a passerby.
Criminal Trial Process
The Criminal Trial Process module describes the criminal justice system through a story about a superhero mistakenly charged with the crime of robbery. The story begins with the crime and proceeds to the arrest and the reading of rights, charging the crime, arraignment, discovery, the trial, and, finally, sentencing.
