Introduction to Criminal Law II
|
Explore the very real world of prosecutors, defense attorneys and detectives in this fascinating explanation of every phase of a criminal prosecution, in this course that continues an examination of criminal law. This course reveals how law enforcement officers investigate a criminal case and examines issues regarding warrants, indictment and the trial of a criminal suspect.
Along the way, the instructor (a former major-felony prosecutor) will dispel some of the common myths about criminal law and reveals the often-ignored but fascinating world of day-to-day criminal practice. Each lesson investigates a particular phase of a criminal case, from both the prosecution and defense viewpoints, including actual court documents to illustrate the procedural steps that all criminal cases follow, from arrest to appeal.
The instructor uses his extensive experience as an Assistant District Attorney (including appearances on Court TV) to explain criminal prosecution in an entertaining and engrossing manner. Throughout the course, you will encounter a wide variety of characters, from the defendant who refused to wear clothing during his trial, to timid armed robbers and charming burglars, all of whom help explain various aspects of the criminal justice system in a manner that many students have found enthralling.
This course, an excellent follow-up to Introduction to Criminal Law, focuses on important issues and Constitutional provisions, but never forgets that law is, ultimately, about people.
