You have learned that we have a Dual Court System in The United States; a federal court system and a state court system. Using the below chart of The Massachusetts Court Structure, you are to explain what happens within each court in the Massachusetts ( 9 courts in total- the 2 bottoms rows for 7, the Massachusetts Appeals, & Supreme Judicial Court), as each court has distinct subject matter (limited or general jurisdiction), that it is responsible for. The Mass.gov website would be a good resource.
You also learning of the various stages of court proceedings, which may vary state to state and between the state and federal court systems.
You are to choose any court case from 1900 on, and walk me through each stage of that court case- both Pre-trial stages and The Trial.
Make sure to label each stage, and provide a brief explanation for each stage. You may either choose to create a timeline, outline, graphic organizer, etc… to display the various stages of the court case you have chosen. SEE THE RUBRIC WITH INSTRUCTION ASSIGNMENT ATTACHED.
