Examines the techniques of properly analyzing circumstantial evidence in the context of a murder trial. From the crime scene to the courthouse, students learn the role of and the technical process of presenting circumstantial evidence.

It is recommended that students have either taken or are enrolled in Evidence. (*updated* 11/30/2018; effective Spring 2019)
