## Resource

Constitutional Chisme is your weekly mini-episode where your host Stephanie and co-host Harleigh break down the cases you’re most likely to see in law school! This week, we are covering Roper v. Simmons. The case raised important questions about the constitutionality of the death penalty for juvenile offenders and whether executing individuals who were under the age of 18 at the time of their crimes violates the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment.
