Criminal Law

This fascinating study of criminal law takes you through the process of how laws have been created and how they are interpreted as actual actions. We’ll introduce you to the different roles people have in criminal law and the process of an arrest.

The criminal trial is looked at in depth, including the trial outcome and a judge’s sentencing options. If you’ve ever wanted to know what happens in court, have been summoned to serve on a jury, or are interested in working within the criminal justice system, this course is a must.
