LLM US Law Elective
This course reviews historically prominent trials as a means of learning about the American criminal justice system. Each session of the class features one trail or, occasionally, two trials. From each such case, the course attempts to extract lessons about our justice system, including effective (and ineffective) litigation tatics, the effect of racial and other prejudice on juries, the interaction of public sentiment, politics, and litigation, ect. Prior to each session of this class, students are required to read several items about the trial featured in the class and to find and read additional materials about these trials. After a short quiz, most classes move to a discussion of the featured trial(s). Each student is required to participate in the discussion during each class. In addition, each student participates as a member of a two-student team to research and report upon a prominent trial in Minnesota or elsewhere. (2 credits. Offered alternate years.)
