LAWS 8876 Criminal Process Clinic Seminar

The Criminal Process Clinic seminar brings together students enrolled in the BC Defender Program and the BC Law Prosecution Program for a weekly class in which they share their insights and experiences, compare professional roles, and examine the functioning of the criminal justice system and measure it against conceptions of fairness and justice. Students and faculty from both programs participate together in skills training simulations, presentations, field trips, and conversations with experienced criminal justice professionals. In addition to readings and other assignments, students write weekly journals reflecting on and integrating their clinical and classroom experiences.
