Criminal Law Course

What will I learn?
This course covers every major area of criminal law, including the classification of crimes, the elements of criminal offences, homicide, property crimes, inchoate offences, and complicity doctrine. You will study the full range of defences available to defendants, from private defence and necessity to the defence of mental illness (pathological criminal incapacity) and entrapment. Constitutional protections governing search and seizure, self-incrimination, and the right to legal representation are examined in depth. The course also addresses sentencing structures, punishment theory, and criminal justice reform. Supplementary material covers white-collar crime, drug offences, juvenile justice, and international criminal law. You will develop practical legal research and case analysis skills alongside a firm understanding of prosecutorial and defence ethics.
