Prerequisite: CJ major or Forensic Chemistry major or Forensic Biology major or permission of the instructor. The purpose of this course is to provide students with a general overview of the rules of evidence as practiced in the various courts of the United States. These rules are drawn from the rules of evidence as they existed at common law and were modified by various U.S. Federal Courts. The course is designed to give students some background into the origin, usually dictated by a need, of certain rules of evidence at common law, and to view these rules as modified by contemporary courts.
