The course will examine criminal investigations and the constitutional law relating to police officers and lawyers. Topics include: the current structure and function of police, prosecutors and defense lawyers; the right to counsel; search and seizure; use of force; stop and frisk; police interrogation; the privilege against compelled self-incrimination; the exclusionary rule; and grand juries. We will explore public policy and lawyering strategies. We will discuss whether constitutional criminal procedure doctrines help or hinder efforts to regulate police and to check racism and police violence. We will also briefly consider civil rights doctrines and the efficacy of civil lawsuits in regulating police.
Students are expected to participate in class. Students will be "on call" periodically (with flexibility for those who cannot join on a particular day).
The final will be a closed-book in-class exam. There will also be several required open-book on-line quizzes during the semester.
