Document Summary
Teodoro teaching another urban politics class next year. Total of 36 pages of text book reading. Beginning more and more attention to the courts. Very good: procedures about court, crime and punishment, judicial selection (greater detail) 244 most judges have to be lawyers or legal professions not really true, only one appellate level. 241 about same sex marriage, they give importance to the federal courts level (therefore giving more importance for the federal level instead of state level) Know the state landmark cases more than the federal level, makes it more relevant (tell us much more about state government) In 1988 the states passed measures defining marriages are one male and one female. Opponents of same sex marriage has one every single time without fail. Following the passing of prop 8 in california, a woman wanting to marry another woman filed suit against the state, saying that the prop 8 was against her rights.
