Advanced Criminal Law

Catalog description

In this course, you make the choices that lawyers make in real-world cases. We break down how to apply statutes to fact patterns in a repeatable, step-by-step method, using excerpts from the Model Penal Code. We also hone skills such as eliminating errors in writing. Finally, we question some of the core values underlying our laws. There is no exam, and the grade is based primarily on class participation and on a final presentation in which you discuss a topic of your choice.
