Criminal Justice: Criminal Procedure I

Description:

This course examines constitutional constraints on government investigation of crime. Topics include search and seizure, interrogations and confessions and eyewitness identification. While the focus is the United States Constitution (4th, 5th, and 6th amendments and due process), some attention will be paid to state constitutional issues. Some coverage will also be given to the role of victims at this stage of the procedure. The first-year day sections (1y) and the upper-division sections (ud) cover the same material. This is a bar course, and it is a graduation requirement for those who entered Fall '98 or later.
