SUMMARY:Law Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:What is Due Process?\n\n\n\nWhat is Due Process? It’s a term we hear often but may not stop to think about what it means. In honor of the Law Day 2021 theme “Advancing the Rule of Law Now\,” The Judge Johnson Institute organized a virtual panel discussion for high school students to explore the idea of due process— a critical component of the rule of law and role of law in our society. \n\n\n\nThis panel discussion\, geared to high school students\, features a clear and concise discussion of the Constitutional right of due process\, guaranteed by the United States Constitution. \n\n\n\nAs students learn about the importance of the Constitution and the right of due process\, this panel discussion provides an opportunity to learn from experts in law and education. \n\n\n\nPanelists include: \n\n\n\n\nElizabeth Bowles\, Law Magnet Instructor at the Center for Law\, Booker T. Washington Magnet High School here in Montgomery\, Alabama.\n\n\n\nLane Heard\, Senior Counsel at the law firm of Williams and Connolly in Washington\, DC.\n\n\n\nElizabeth Huntley\, Senior Counsel and Director of Community Relations and Engagement at Lightfoot\, Franklin and White in Birmingham\, AL.\n\n\n\nThomas Rains\, Executive Director of FMJI (Moderator)\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiscussion Questions\n\n\n\nUse these questions to start a class discussion\, frame a research topic\, or as writing prompts for essays. The questions are based on the content of the videos above and information from the other resources linked below. You can download these questions as a .pdf here. \n\n\n\n\nWhat is due process\, and what is its inherent purpose? Explain it in your own words.\n\n\n\nDoes due process only apply if you’re in court?\n\n\n\nWhere did the idea of due process come from\, and is it unique to the United States?\n\n\n\nWhy is it important that people receive due process?\n\n\n\nWhich amendments to the U.S. Constitution refer to due process?\n\n\n\nWhat do you think made these amendments referring to due process relevant and necessary?\n\n\n\nWhat role has due process played in our society? Has it helped or hindered the liberties of our country’s citizens?\n\n\n\nName two rights that are not named in the U.S. Constitution but that the Supreme Court has recognized. Why do you believe they were not explicitly stated in the Constitution?\n\n\n\nCan you name two examples from the video of situations where due process was denied? How was it denied?\n\n\n\nHow does due process affect justice in our society?\n\n\n\nPeople go to court for two kinds of cases: criminal cases and civil cases. Can you describe the difference? Is due process the same for each?\n\n\n\nCan you think of an example of a situation where you or someone you know was given due process? What was the outcome?\n\n\n\nCan you think of a time where you extended thinking similar to due process?\n\n\n\nHow can you apply due process to interactions with people around you? How can they apply it to interactions with you?\n\n\n\nFurther Research: Find an example of a historical event where due process played a significant role. Was due process given or denied? How would the outcome have been different if the reverse had happened?\n\n\n\n\nFurther Resources for Law Day\n\n\n\nAlabama State Bar \n\n\n\nThe Alabama State Bar Lawyer in Every Classroom Committee will be providing lawyers to visit middle school classrooms (6th-8th grades) in-person or virtually Friday\, April 30\, 2021\, to teach students about this year’s Law Day theme and to answer students’ questions. \n\n\n\nAmerican Bar Association \n\n\n\nDive into Law Day with more information on the history of the event and resources for learning about each year’s theme. \n\n\n\nUnited States Courts \n\n\n\nDive into distance learning on Law Day with the U.S. Courts. \n\n\n\nLaw Day Archive\n\n\n\nExplore Previous Law Day Resources: \n\n\n\n\nLaw Day 2020
