Using real, and generally well known cases, this course applies the lessons of introductory criminal law and pursues advanced issues in criminal law theory. Students serve on teams of prosecution and defense as the class considers a different case each week. During the first class of each week, teams give what are similar to jury arguments, with the class sitting as jury. During this presentation, advocates must suport their position with arguments that do not rely upon legal authority. During the second class of each week, teams give appellate arguments, with the class sitting as an appellate panel, questioning the advocates. During a final hour, the class analyzes the issues raised during the two days, discusses differences between the ‘justice’ arguments result of the first day and the ‘legal’ arguments result of the second day, and relates the case to others argued earlier in the term. (The focus of the course is not advocacy skills but substantive criminal law theory.) Criminal Law is a prerequisite. There is limited enrollment for this course.
