It is the court's job to decide if people are guilty or innocent, if their cases should be appealed or not and if laws are constitutional or not. They must try to be as fair and balanced as possible.
Cases begin in the district court in which a judge and jury decide if a person or group of people are guilty or innocent of a crime. If the defendant is not content with the ruling, they may take their case to the court of appeals where it may be retried. On issues that are of national or presidential importance, the supreme court gets involved and is the main decided on whether or not something is constitutional or not.

Blog Numero Tres, El Ultimo del Semestre!
This is the last one of the year!!! : D Well, Claire, as we both know, I was definitely NOT happy about having to make a blog at the beginning of the year! Overall though, it hasn't been too bad. Originally I thought that we were going to have to do it every week and I wouldn't have enjoyed that at all haha. Turns out that it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be and I enjoy reading about Claire's time in her PDS and I value her feedback :) My small group facilitator commented each of my posts last semester, but I don't think that my new one has. Also, no one from my PDS reads this so I really think that it's basically just me and Claire on here!
One thing that I would like to maybe see changed, but I'm not sure how, would be that I feel like I'm more a part of the Foreign Language department than I am in the Education department. Maybe it's just because I have more Spanish classes during the week than EDUC and so I see the people in those classes more often, but it was just something that always bugged me a little.
It seems weird to we that I'm already a junior and only have one more year after next! It seems like it was just last week that I was a freshman who wanted to be a theatre major, then a photography major and many more until I finally settled with Spanish. My question for you, Claire would be 1.) Do you feel like you are more closely tied to the English or Education department and 2.) what was your favorite part about the year : )
Oh! And also to your comment on one of the blogs about incorporating music in the English classroom, we just did a section on poetry in my Spanish Lit. class and we talked about how songs are actually poems just put to music and then we all had to do a hw assignment where we broke down the lyrics of a song that we liked : ) Just a suggestion, it was pretty fun though!
