When law students can't separate death penalty doctrine from personal beliefs

My law school study group is preparing for our criminal law exam and we're supposed to analyze death penalty cases objectively but every time we practice, two group members get into arguments about the morality of capital punishment and it's making the rest of us uncomfortable. We need to focus on legal doctrine but the personal stakes feel too high to ignore.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Academic requirements conflict with moral conviction when the subject matter carries life-and-death weight.
