Concepts of Justice and The Law [Period 4, Class #15, Apr 20]
"Welcome to our last class together," Alex said, offering her students a light smile. "I'll be honest: I've really enjoyed our conversations this semester. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk about justice, and thank you for your insights and perspectives on all the subjects we've covered. They've been nothing short of fascinating."
She gestured to the stack of papers on her desk. "This, of course, is your final. It's structured just like the midterm was. You can use anything you may have brought with you, but you shouldn't need to. You cannot work with your classmates, and I'll ask that you not talk to one another until all exams have been handed in. Even if you and your friend are both finished, the next person over might not be, and your conversation could be a distraction.
"Once you've handed in your exam, you're free to leave. Or, if you'd rather, you can stick around and tell me what you thought of class -- what I did wrong, what I did right, anything like that. But for now, you've got finals to complete. Good luck, and show me what you know."

Re: Question 3: Cruel and Unusual Punishment - JST15
I think stoning someone might be cruel and unusual though. I know it's not a widely used practice but, from what I've read, parading someone out in the middle of a town and throwing rocks at them until they die sounds unnecessarily cruel and painful. It shouldn't be done.
