9:15 - 11:50 C Block Social and Environmental Sciences
12:30 - 3:05 B Block Legal Studies
C Block Environmental and Social Sciences - For the first part of block you'll head to the learning commons/library to finish up work on your Mauna Kea/Hawai’i questions:
- What is the history of the United States acquisition of Hawai'i?
- What are the Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) beliefs surrounding the mountain?
- What is “ceded lands” or "crown land" and how has it played a role in this conflict?
- What agreements over astronomical use of the mountain have taken place?
- What is the astronomical value of the location?
- What are the ecological, economic and scientific impacts of currently operating telescopes at Mauna Kea?
- What is the current proposal for construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope?
- Summarize the arguments for and against the construction of the TMT
- In a perfect world, what is the "best outcome" solution to the conflict? Explain why you have that opinion
B Block Legal Studies - Today we'll start by going over the defenses of: alibi (disputing the Actus Reus) and automatism (disputing the Mens Rea) and I'll give you a handout that has some really good notes to help you with defenses including Alibi, Non-Insane Automatism, Intoxication, Insane Automatism, Battered Woman Syndrome, along with "excusable conduct" defenses of Self-defense, Necessity, Duress, Ignorance of the law, Mistake of fact, Entrapment, Double jeopardy, and Provocation. After we'll continue in the learning commons / library for work on your Criminal Law activity where you need to choose two of the ten hypothetical criminal cases I gave you and provide a one-page memo/letter for each. Remember, use the memo template I gave you and the explanation after them to help you write the response to the two cases you choose.
