OJ Simpson Mini Series- perfect for teaching criminal law
How many of us loved the OJ Simpson American Crime story mini series? I loved that series- I thought it was done so well and I am not ashamed to admit I became obsessed. I teach a criminal law class and I always used to show documentaries on OJ Simpson criminal trial because it is the most famous criminal case and students are always interested in this case. Plus, it is a great case to show the difference between criminal vs civil law. So when the OJ mini series became available on Netflix, I knew I had to show it to my Criminal Law class. I created questions for students to answer for every single episode. Then afterwards there is a quiz, an opening statement for students to participate in, and an essay prompt, which I also make into a debate. And for each episode, I am able to discuss with my students numerous aspects of criminal law, between the crime scene, investigation, leads, tips, criminal proceedings, district attorney jobs, jury selection...I could go on and on. And my students love the show- they love OJ Mini Series. All I can say is, I recommend this!
