CREDIT HOURS: 3

This course uses lectures and simulated court proceedings, including bail hearings, direct and cross-examinations, and trials to develop skills of advocacy and trial preparation. Early trials are heard before Judges of the Provincial Court, and the final case is heard by a Justice of the Supreme Court. Each student assumes the role of prosecutor, defence counsel, and witness on different occasions. Preparation for courses involves some research in matters of evidence and criminal procedure. Presentations are discussed at the conclusion of each proceeding for the purpose of providing constructive feedback. Classes are held one night per week during the fall term.
