Follow up information and links after our first class

As promised, here are links to the full articles that were passed around in partial hard-copy form in class today:

• William F. Duker, The President’s Power to Pardon: A Constitutional History, 18 WM. & MARY L. REV. 475 (1977)
• Daniel T. Kobil, Do the Paperwork or Die: Clemency, Ohio Style?, 52 OHIO ST. L.J. 655 (1991)

If you were interested in the full documentary "College Behind Bars" that I previewed in class, here is a link to the PBS site where it can be streamed. And speaking of things to watch, here ate the IMDB pages for new criminal justice movies Just Mercy and Clemency.  I would be eager to organize a trip for class members if interested.

Last but not least, we will be sure in next week's class to discuss the real-world example of (state or federal) clemency which took place BEFORE the 21st Century that is of interest to you.  Sorry we did not get to that today, but we will for sure next week.

UPDATE:  It dawned on me that you all might like an electronic version of the course description and syllabus.  You will find that document (updated with our new room number) below:
