This week, you have examined the Exclusionary Rule, which prevents evidence seized in violation of the Constitution from being used against the accused, and you have examined other remedies against those who committed the violations of the Constitutional protections.

After carefully reviewing the material in the learning activities, use a word processing program to complete the following:

1. Prepare a case brief of the landmark case in Chapter 10 of your textbook,M. Ohio,app v including facts, procedural history, issue, rule, analysis, and conclusion.  Label each component of the brief.   
2. Respond to the questions below:

• Define the exclusionary rule.  There are three justifications for the exclusionary rule.  What are they?  Explain the rationale behind each one.  Which justification does the US Supreme Court use today?
• List five exceptions to the exclusionary rule.  Define and explain each one.

Full credit for your responses requires more than one-sentence responses.  You must be analytical and apply the law that you are learning.  Each answer should be at least one paragraph in length; some answers will require more.  One or two sentences per answer are not enough.

You will be assessed on the nature and scope of your research and the analytic depth of your response.

In addition, you must proofread your material, and submit it without grammar, spelling, or other mechanical errors.  Finally, remember to use APA format in this and all assignments.
