"In Search of the Impartial Juror" by Monica S. Lewinsky!
"In case you missed it over Christmas, Monica Lewinsky received her masters from the London School of Economics. Although I started to craft a joke of her thesis title, the real one is even better: 'In Search of the Impartial Juror: An Exploration of the Third Person Effect and Pre-Trial Publicity.'"

The History of the Supreme Court: While some citizens may find the United States Supreme Court to be a distant institution, nothing could be farther from the truth. During its annual sessions, the Court addresses a myriad of issues of immediate and enduring importance, including eminent domain, freedom of expression, the death penalty, and so on. With funding from New York Life, this very thorough website was created to complement a major television series on the history of the Supreme Court that will soon appear on PBS. The site's materials were written by educators from across the country, and they present the institution's history thematically, thereby making it easier to use in the classroom. Within each one of the site's sections, users will find essays and teaching materials on gender equality, social rights, personal liberties, and equal access to schools. The site also includes a very nice interactive timeline of landmark cases handed down since 1792. Finally, the site also includes a searchable encyclopedia of terms and court cases of note.
