The Founding Fathers installed three equal branches of government to serve as checks and balances to one another. The legislative branch writes the law, the executive branch enacts it, and the judicial branch interprets and enforces the law.

This course is designed to shine a light on this neglected function of government, exposing its strengths as well as its weaknesses.

What is the purpose of the justice system? Is it meant to punish or protect? Should we focus on compensating victims, rehabilitating offenders, or simply removing society's undesirables from sight?

This course examines the ways the justice system fails us as citizens, and what we can do to make it better.
