Product Description
Product Description
In your criminal law practice, the stakes are highest when homicide is the charge: one life’s been lost; another may face the strictest sentencing our legal system can impose. Those stakes are even higher when you also have to contend with the implicit biases of witnesses and members of the jury who may be viewing the evidence through the lens of race.No matter which side of the counsel table you hail from—prosecution or defense—this program amps up your awareness of the social factors in homicide trials. You come away from this course savvier, more aware, and more knowledgeable.
Raise your awareness to a higher level.
