Description
This course will allow students continued exploration of the growing
number of circumstances where science and the law interact in the
field of evidence. Students have already been introduced to key
disciplinary concepts in Evidence I, and this course will provide
more in-depth analysis and an opportunity to consider how science is
used in unsolved criminal cases. Students will be expected to apply
concepts of evidence law and the federal and state rules of evidence
which govern the admissibility of evidence in the legal process.
Students will also utilize the laboratory format to study the
various types of forensic evidence as well as the processes for
collecting and analyzing such evidence. Prerequisite: CRJ320 or
instructor approval. (3 s.h.)
