Does the possibility of jury nullification make the American criminal legal system better or worse (all things of relevance to justice, societal well-being, and the rule of law considered)?
According to Black’s Law Dictionary, jury nullification is “[a] jury’s knowing and deliberate rejection of the evidence or refusal to apply the law either because the jury wants to send a message about some social issue that is larger than the case itself or because the result dictated by law is contrary to the jury’s sense of justice, morality, or fairness.” For the purposes of this response paper, assume that jury nullification can happen only in a criminal proceeding when a jury returns a verdict of “not guilty.” (Of course, a jury can acquit a criminal defendant even when it does not nullify – when it is not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt, on the basis of the law and the evidence, that the defendant is guilty. But if a jury nullifies, then it does so only by acquitting a criminal defendant.)
Does the possibility of jury nullification make the American criminal legal system better or worse (all things of relevance to justice, societal well-being, and the rule of law considered)?
The paper should: (1) start by taking a clear position on whether, all things considered, allowing for jury nullification makes the American criminal legal system, overall, better or worse; (2) then offer arguments in favor of that position in an organized way; and (3) then respond to at least one (you may respond to more than one) of the strongest arguments against that position.
what has and has not worked in the past to solve the problem, or what complicates the answers to your inquiry question.
Background: The Research Logs are both a tool for researchers to track and synthesize research, as well as an important part of the inquiry and research process. Each Research Log will follow the conversation model, which reflects the natural inquiry and research process that most professional and academic researchers follow:
● Log 1: Listening to the Conversation ● Log 2: Expanding the Conversation
Log 2 Purpose: The purpose of Research Log 2 is to start asking new questions about your focused, specific issue you settled on after the first Research Log. During this phase of the research process, you will seek multiple perspectives to try to understand a variety of perspectives, learn what has and has not worked in the past to solve the problem, or what complicates the answers to your inquiry question.
● Your end goal will be to discover the perspectives of a variety of stakeholders through the many questions you will ask. By the end of Log 2 you should feel you’ve heard from many different and sometimes opposing points of view and have worked to understand those perspectives
Audience: Your primary audience will be your CO150 peers and yourself. I will be your secondary audience.
Genre: The Research Portfolio is an academic tool and will therefore include specific academic expectations for research, including MLA citations, synthesis, and summary.
Requirements: Sources for Research Log 2 should help you understand the opinions, concerns, or beliefs of the various people and groups involved in your focused, specific issue. Therefore, some purely informative articles may not work well for this assignment. Hold on to those informative sources, however, as they may be helpful later. For this second log, you will need to have at least two scholarly sources.
Submit one document that includes the following:
● Citation: An MLA citation of the source ● Rhetorical Précis: This is a specific, 4-sentence summary of your source. Please see
instructions on Canvas for how to do this. ● Repeat for each of your three sources
When you are finished with all three citations and their rhetorical précis, complete the Source Discussion at the end of the document, including:
● A 250-300 word discussion, with use of author tags, of your findings thus far. Include the following in your writing:
o What stakeholder perspectives have you learned about so far? What stake do these people/groups have in this issue? Who is missing from the conversation?
o Where do you see overlap in opinions/concerns/values between these stakeholders? In other words, what common ground do you see among the perspectives you’ve gathered? Do you share any common ground with these people?
o Where do the perspectives differ? In other words, what differences are there between opinions, concerns, or what the groups have at stake with this issue? How do you differ in perspective from these groups?
o What questions do you have about any of the stakeholders’ points of view? What would you like to learn more about from these groups?

Describe the provided case, including information on the stakeholders involved, the bioethical issue, and the time period of the incident that occurred.
Overview: Healthcare professionals provide support throughout the cycle of life, from birth to death. They have an obligation to provide humane and compassionate care to patients while adhering to their specific field’s code of ethics. Sometimes, healthcare professionals are privy to discussions between family members regarding end-of-life issues. In some instances, a healthcare facility may be in charge of providing information about advance directives to patients. Healthcare professionals should calibrate their own moral beliefs to align with their ethical and legal obligations. By studying issues contained within real-life cases, healthcare professionals can come to terms with their beliefs and obligations relative to end-of-life issues.
Prompt: In this project, you will analyze the Terri Schiavo case through the lens of the bioethical issue(s) related to the case. You will address what the bioethical issue is and what role end-of-life issues, such as self-determination and advanced directives, played in the case. Using your analysis, you will determine how this bioethical issue impacted the decisions made by the healthcare professionals involved in the case.
Specifically, your essay must address the following critical elements:
I. Introduction: Describe the provided case, including information on the stakeholders involved, the bioethical issue, and the time period of the incident that occurred.
II. Bioethical Analysis: Analyze the bioethical issue for the role end-of-life issues played in the case. Be sure to use appropriate terminology and support with secondary research.
III. Conclusion: Describe how the bioethical issue influenced the decisions of healthcare professionals involved in the case. Be sure to use specific examples.
