Course Description
Instructor: Steven Harbour, JD
Ever wonder if movie murder trials got the law right? Using scenes from Anatomy of a Murder, Presumed Innocence, My Cousin Vinny, and Compulsion, the class will discuss the law concerning such legal issues as the insanity defense, the use of polygraphs (lie detectors), the privilege against self-incrimination, expert testimony, the attorney client relationship, capital punishment, and who decides what, the judge or the jury.
