New York Criminal Procedure

Catalog description

The subject of this 3 credit course is criminal process under New York state law, including issues of both police investigation and in-court adjudication. In other words, the course will first explore NY State statutes, cases and constitutional provisions that govern search and seizure as well as custodial interrogation by law enforcement. The course will then explore NY State statutes, cases and constitutional provisions that govern procedures of the criminal court, from bail to jail (e.g., arraignments, right to counsel, discovery, trial process, sentencing, and more). Highly recommended that students have already taken either Criminal Procedure/ Investigation or Criminal Procedure/ Adjudication.
