GPA LECTURE COURSES

FEDERAL CRIMINAL LAW is a statutory and case analysis class. The class is substantive, not procedural. Students will examine statutes used today to prosecute federal criminal offenses, ranging from gun and drugs to "white collar" tax and fraud prosecutions. Students also will examine the structure of the Department of Justice, jurisdictional bases for federal criminal statutes, and proper allocation of responsibility for criminal law enforcement between the federal and state governments. The class is primarily lecture-based but will include group discussions and occasional guest speakers. Grades will be based on a final exam and class participation.
