Contemporary Topic:
Knock and Announce

This in-class or in-court activity is based on a simulation of a motion hearing and witness examinations stemming from a search at a fictional high school house party. It is based on the Supreme Court's 2006 "knock and announce" decision Hudson v. Michigan. The purpose of the simulation is to demonstrate that judges and jurors are partners in justice.
