CRM 333 - The Accused

Three Credits
Fall and Spring Semesters

This course contemplates the criminal justice system (primarily in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts) from the perspective of the defendant and his counsel and from arrest to post-trial in misdemeanor and felony court. Beginning with the attorney-client relationship and continuing throughout criminal proceedings, defendants and defense counsel face challenges distinct from law enforcement and prosecutors. The course examines the unique challenges that the accused, whether guilty or not, encounter in the modern criminal justice system.

Prerequisite(s): CRM 201 .
