My Class is an online repository of what transpired in each session for the most recent version of this course. It contains the most recent slides used, the most recent audio feed, and any notes that may exist. It does NOT contain movie lectures (but, in the future, will link to them). This is useful for students who need only to view some slides, see what was taught on a particular day, print a discreet slide (not all of them), check class announcements, look for notes or links, or hear only a quick segment of a recent lecture. For more significant tutorial assistance, one should go to Movie Lectures. Also, please note that this resource is particularly useful when new lecture content has been given and is not yet turned into a "lecture movie." If new material has been presented to your class and is not yet added to the "movie lecture" collection, this is your only place to get it.

Lecture 07: Understanding the Rules for Witness Testimony and What Lawyers Ddo With Them
This lecture shows students the rules for objecting to witness testimony, the kinds of witnesses available, privileges, and examines the techniques and strategies used by good trial lawyers.
Lecture 08: Relevance and Hearsay as a Kind of Politics
This lecture looks at how the hearsay and relevance rules work. Particular attention is paid on how the relevance "rule" appears not to facilitate answers but acts as a cloak for a range of "fairness attitudes" one may have about trials and what "Edith" can see. We will build this next time into a theory of trial judges having local power over their courtrooms.
Lecture 09: Standards of Review and How They Create Trial Discretion
This lecture covers standards of review in trial courts. The point of the lecture is to demonstrate how review standards create and enfranchise discretion and "local power" in trial courts.[NOTE TO STUDENTS AND THE PEOPLE USING THE ATTRIBUTOR CORPORATION SERVICE TO SEARCH THIS SITE: I don't have the audio up yet.

Lecture 10: Understanding Trial Discretion as Politics and Local Power
This lecture continues the previous lecture wherein students are taught to understand the significance of trial discretion. The general point is that "local power" is given to judges in the system and that the ethics of the use of this power is really judge-specific and circumstance-dependent.

Lecture 14: The Difference Between Federal and State Sentencing
This lecture compares discretionary and grid sentencing regimes as they are commonly found in the state and federal system. The idea of a "discretionary sentencing system" refers to state systems that do not use grids, but allow the judge to have significant discretion when punishing someone.
Lecture 15: The Federal Sentencing Monster
This lecture covers the ethics of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. It particularly covers how a federal sentence is calculated and how the system takes power away from criminal defense attorneys and trial judges.
