This week we will be exploring the Judicial Branch and the criminal justice system. Time has flown and I will try to squeeze in as much as possible in these last few days of government with you. As we finish up I want to also prepare you for your important final exam. We will do review questions daily starting on Tuesday. These questions will also be available on the website after Friday so you may study at home over the longer weekend.
Also the State of the Union will be taking place with President Obama and Congress on Tuesday. Due to time issues we will more than likely just watch highlights, but I encourage lal of you to watch it on that evening at home.
