Criminal Procedure Survey

Catalog description

This course is a survey of the law of criminal procedure, covering issues tested on the Multistate Essay Exam and Multistate Bar Exam portions of the Uniform Bar Exam. It is an alternative to Criminal Procedure Investigation and Criminal Procedure Adjudication for students who want an overview rather than detailed study of criminal procedure. This course covers major topics in the investigative and adjudicatory stages of the criminal process through trial, including an analysis of constitutional and statutory provisions governing investigation, arrest, interrogation, confession, trial, and sentencing. Students who have taken Criminal Procedure Investigation or Adjudication may not take this course.
