The following item was unanimously approved:
- Add CRJU 8854 Constitutional Criminal Procedure (3-0-3)
In-depth analysis of the doctrines and concepts of constitutional criminal procedures that adhere to the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments of the United States Constitution.
Rationale: Prior to the Warren Court, very little criminal procedure had been constitutionalized. Today, however, constitutional law pervades criminal procedure, yet the constitutional discourse that now dominates criminal procedure is often insouciant about the constitutional text, constitutional history, or constitutional structures. This course will analyze the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments from these perspectives to lay bare their first principles, so that the criminal justice professional may utilize this analysis for interpreting and applying public policy for constitutional criminal procedure.
The next Graduate Curriculum Committee meeting will be held January 29, 2003 at 3:00 p.m. in Victor Hall 219.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:30 p.m.
