CJ 220 - Criminal Law and Procedure
Students review key criminal statutes, including their elements and possible defenses (substantive criminal law), and the rules the government must follow when it seeks to enforce the law, including protections contained in the Bill of Rights (criminal procedure). Students analyze criminal statutes and judicial decisions, and learn to apply them to the facts of a given case to determine if a crime has been committed, or if a mistake was made by the government in the enforcement of the law. Students learn how a typical case moves through the justice system, beginning with an arrest and ending with a trial and any appeal.
