• Frame your work so that it makes sense to a general audience—i.e., write to a stranger’s perspective—avoid all personal pronouns like “you,” “we,” “us,” or “our” (unless part of a direct quote).
• Use descriptive headings. Headings should be in bold and arranged on the left margin. Headings must be in the correct font style and size. Capitalize the larger words in a heading.
• Use Introduction for the first heading, and follow it with a single introductory paragraph that tells the reader what they can expect to read in the paper. Do not teach anything substantive in the introduction paragraph; it is the set-up paragraph, so do not get into the lessons yet (naming them is fine and necessary). Quoting some pithy saying that grabs the reader’s attention and points them to your topic(s) is doable. But do not actually define terms yet or get into specifics in the introduction paragraph. Just tell the reader where you are going to take them in the paper. The last sentence of the introductory paragraph should be a thesis sentence that contains the subject and purpose of the work. You MUST use this sentence structure for your thesis sentence: “In this paper, I will explain: ________, _________, and ________.”
• Use Conclusion for the last heading, and follow it with a single, perfunctory paragraph summarizing (very briefly) to the reader what they just read. Summarize each lesson in a sentence or two. No new information or analysis goes in the conclusion; focus on wrapping up the work. In a conclusion paragraph (in this class), you simply want to tell the reader where you took them and remind them of what each lesson was about (ideally one sentence per lesson); then give a final remark. If you can start your paper with a pithy remark that is on topic and grabs the reader’s attention and then callback to that initial pithy remark in the last line in some clever way, then that is a nice way to bookend your paper. It is not necessary to be pithy on these papers, though; just doing the job competently and boringly is sufficient to earn top marks. These are not not creative writing exercises, but creativity is welcome, as long as it happens within these rules (think “inside” the box so to speak).
• Citations are REQUIRED in the midterm and final papers. Use attribution as required by KSU’s policy on academic integrity. When in doubt, cite the source. If you rely on a source, cite it. If you refer to a source, cite it. If you paraphrase a source, cite it (it is nice to provide page or paragraph numbers when paraphrasing). If you quote a source, use quotation marks, cite it, and also include page or paragraph numbers.
- Use either in-text citations and a works cited list at the end of the email, or use end notes. Any formal style of citation that works with this criteria is fine, as long as the information in the attribution gives the reader enough information to easily find the original source, and the information in the attribution is presented consistently in terms of its look and style.
• Use the default font style and size in d2l (i.e., Lato, 19px). If you compose your work in Word or some other program and then copy/paste the work into d2l, be sure to highlight the work and update the font style and size, spacing, etc., to return the look to the default settings in d2l.
• Check your sent folder in d2l email to see how your submission looks. If there is any issues with your submission, then fix it and send a new email. I’ll grade the last email (or whatever one you tell me to grade). As long as you are before the deadline, it is okay to submit your work multiple times. (It’s not a great look to not deliver the goods on the first try, but in terms of points, it’s fine, there’s no penalty for making a submission and catching a mistake and then fixing it in a new submission.) Just submit your work before the deadline and you are in good shape.
• Use the default spacing settings in d2l, and put a blank line between paragraphs and after headings.
• Do not submit your work just before the deadline. Give yourself at least an hour before the deadline as a means of preparing for Murphy’s Law. Ergo, if the deadline shows 11:59 p.m., you should read that as 10:59 p.m. It is better to give yourself at least two hours tbh.
• Follow these rules primarily and then secondarily follow the conventional rules of professional prose for grammar, syntax, punctuation, capitalization, spacing, etc. for American English. We are trying to write “professional prose,” which would be appropriate for a cover letter, an office memorandum, or a graduate school or law school personal statement, a letter to a public representative, etc. Use these format rules to refine your voice and writing skills as an author.
• Perform multiple drafts; revise your writing often until you feel that your words satisfy these format rules, reflect your unique voice as an author, and meet your own standard of excellence

Introduction
Police officers have the right to stop, frisk, and detain an individual based on suspicion of involvement in crime. However, a person cannot be imprisoned without fair judgment in the court. The primary goal of the criminal justice system is to offer a fair justice process, protect citizens from criminals, and apprehend criminals. In this paper, I will explain Terry stop, how to write a criminal case brief, the pros and cons of the exclusionary rule, the constitutional requirement of the exclusionary rule, and the definition of justice.
Terry Stop
In Terry v. Ohio, the Supreme Court of the United States (US) ruled that police officers are allowed to stop and detain a person on the basis of reasonable suspicion (Rudovsky and Harris 504). In that light, if an individual is suspicious of engaging in criminal activity or being armed, cops have the right to stop, frisk, or detain that person. A Terry stop is a lawful investigatory requirement that can entail stopping a vehicle and frisking the occupants if they are suspicious of engaging in criminal activities.
How to Brief a Criminal or Court Case (Tennessee v. Garner)
A criminal case brief comprises a summary, facts, issues, held, and discussion. In Tennessee v. Garner, the case summary entails a police officer shooting and killing an unarmed suspect. The fact showed that the cop saw a burglar fleeing the crime scene and shot him even after seeing that the criminal did not have a weapon (Tennessee v. Garner). The issue was whether the Fourth Amendment a
