Comment

Working in the criminal justice area is challenging and exciting for both me and our students. On a daily basis we confront a host of problems relating to crime, the trial process, and the role of law enforcement in a free society. We consider questions such as protection of privacy under the search and seizure provision of the Constitution, the implications of the privilege against self-incrimination, the right to confront one's accusers, and the broad-based need for representation in criminal cases. The questions are tough, the answers can be quite troubling. In addition, numerous ethical issues occur regularly in class. We wonder how the defense counsel can represent the "guilty" client. Students ask how far a prosecutor can go in trying a difficult case; we consider the role of the judge in ensuring that both sides are fairly and adequately represented.
