Students will write an essay comparing and contrasting the approaches to criminal procedure by the U.S. Supreme Court under both Chief Justices Earl Warren and William Rehnquist.
The essay should address:
-their significant decisions and the effects they had on the balance between social order maintenance and individual liberties.
-the effects of the Supreme Court’s decisions on law enforcement in the United States.
-the Supreme Court’s current approach to balancing civil liberties against public order maintenance.
Caution: Do not get sidetracked by the landmark court decisions that do not reflect criminal procedure. Brown v. the Board of Education and Roe V. Wade are cases of monumental importance, but they are not criminal procedure decisions.
The essay must include:

6 to 8 typewritten double spaced pages about 2000 words on the above subject
Reference page containing a minimum of six external course sources
Must be written in APA style
