Boston College Law School
Through a combination of simulated courtroom presentations and readings, this course covers the law of post-arrest criminal procedure from bail and grand jury proceedings through pre-trial discovery, plea bargaining, jury selection, trial and sentencing. In addition to simulated exercises and feedback, discussion topics will range from Supreme Court cases to policy issues such as the ethics of plea bargaining and the role of race in our criminal justice system. This course provides three credits toward the experiential learning requirement.
