Studies in Criminal Law: The Trial of a Murder

Section:

JB

Course Description:

The Trial of a Murder is a course which offers students the opportunity to prosecute or defend a hypothetical murder trial from bail hearing to sentencing. The entire class will be working from the same set of facts (ie “the file”). Students will work in teams of four (two Crowns and two defence). Each team of four will have a dedicated practicing criminal lawyer acting as a consultant and guide. Each team of four will have two assignments to complete over the course of the semester – the assignments will involve both written and oral components.

This course aims to teach students about the criminal trial process through the lens of a single charge proceeding through the system from start to finish. It is a unique learning opportunity taught from the perspective of the practitioner and incorporating essential litigation skills in both written and oral advocacy.
