This is an upper-year course.
Examines the investigation, prosecution and defence of homicides from a substantive, procedural and practical perspective with a focus on gaining an understanding of how prosecutors attack complex criminal prosecutions and how defence counsel arrange and conduct defences. Students will attend lectures, discuss legal problems and engage in strategic problem-solving through the lens of a fictionalized murder prosecution. During the semester, students will examine the elements of the various homicide provisions in the Criminal Code, consider the manner of investigation of homicides and the legal and ethical issues that arise, examine typical defences, and study procedural and substantive issues from pre-trial to sentencing.
