LAW 6239 - Civil Rights Practicum: Police Misconduct Litigation

Credits: 2

Includes simulations where students represent hypothetical clients from actual civil rights cases that focus on police misconduct. Analyzes videos of police actions and recent civil rights cases highlighted in the national media (e.g., Ferguson, Baltimore, and the Waco biker shootout) to determine whether there was an abuse of force. Helps students develop lawyering skills such as client and witness interviewing, evaluation of damages, fact investigation and analysis, negotiation, and trial advocacy.
