Description
This course will explore the dimensions of civil and criminal laws, current legal trends, and constitutional interpretations as they apply to individual rights. In addition, students will discover how social class, race, gender, hierarchy, definitions of deviance, and classes of criminal and civil offenses influence what happens to people. Students will learn how people behave and how they relate to those institutions set up to service the public. Mock trials and applications of scientific methodology give this class a \'93hands-on\'94 approach.
