LAWS 2045 ‑ Criminal Law Problems

CREDIT HOURS: 3

This course will focus on recent developments in criminal procedure, substantive criminal law, evidence and/or sentencing. It will pursue the extent to which we have departed from traditional and orthodox views about the way in which the system is supposed to work, and whether those departures are improvements or not. There will be a number of proposed topics for discussion, but the exact content of the course will largely depend upon the choices made by students registered in it.
