The course will examine the law (primarily, but not exclusively, constitutional law) governing criminal investigations. Topics may 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 an open-book in-class exam.
