Criminal Law 2.0 ("reasons to doubt that our criminal justice system is fundamentally just”)

HON. ALEX KOZINSKI, 44 GEO. L.J. ANN. REV. CRIM. PROC (2015)

Prof. Nina Chernoff

Please read the first 10.5 pages (pages iii - xiii) where Judge Kozinski describes 12 "reasons to doubt that our criminal justice system is fundamentally just.” (You do not need to read the footnotes.) Note that the first six reasons are forensic evidence issues.

(Note: Judge Kozinski has since retired in response to multiple accusations of sexual harassment.)
