POLS 270 /370: The Constitution and Criminal Procedure
3.00 Credits
Virginia Wesleyan University
Using the case-study method in texts and class discussion, media reports of current Supreme Court actions, artifacts from popular culture, and a hands-on simulation of the Supreme Court itself, this course surveys the American approach to constitutionalism; the overall framework of the American legal system; the decisionmaking processes of the Supreme Court; and the Supreme Court's interpretation of those civil rights and professional procedures associated with the operation of the criminal justice system. Fourth Amendment search and seizure requirements, the Exclusionary Rule, Arrests, Fifth Amendment due process issues, the Miranda Warnings, Sixth Amendment right to counsel and jury trail issues, and Eighth Amendment bail, fine, and punishment issues, including asset forfeiture and capital punishment are of particular interest.

Prerequisites: none for 270; for POLS 370, junior status or consent, for CJ 370, either CJ 200 or 205. Offered spring of evennumbered years.
