LS 351 - Criminal Law and Procedure

3 Credit Hours
An overview of the American criminal justice system with a particular focus on constitutional protections afforded to the accused. We will explore the extent to which these protections actually prevent injustice, as well as critically examine how well our system meets its goals of prevention, deterrence and rehabilitation. The course will progress through the entire process of criminal prosecution, from investigation through sentencing and appeals.
