This course includes two distinct areas of study: the applications of psychology within the courts and the justice system, and the theoretical topics concerning the interface of psychology and law. It is designed to introduce students to the applied practice of psychology in legal contexts - including assessment, treatment, prevention, jury selection, and legal decision making.  The course also examines the causes of criminal behavior. Students will apply what they have learned in the course by participating in a mock trial. The course is offered once every two years.
