CJ 4941 - Innocence Project


(3)
The intent of the course is to provide an opportunity for students to apply Criminal Justice principles learned in class to an actual case review. Participants will be required to review, analyze and digest an actual criminal case for issues of innocence, including police reports, witness statements, forensic evidence, trial transcripts and appellate pleadings. A final paper will be prepared and presented to the Midwest Innocence Project by the participants, identifying areas which require additional legal and investigative review. Participation in the class requires prior approval by the instructor.

Prerequisite: Instructor approval.
