Dear Students:<\/p>\n
As you prepare to register for spring semester courses, please note that we will again offer Advanced Criminal Prosecution as a one-credit intersession course over Spring Break week (March 7 \u2013 11).\u00a0 Like last year, the five-day immersion course will be offered in conjunction with the Tennessee District Attorney General\u2019s Conference (TNDAG), which is held annually at the Law School.\u00a0 Advanced Criminal Prosecution is intended to offer a select number of students (maximum of five) interested in criminal trial advocacy intensive training in and exposure to prosecutorial litigation skills and strategy.<\/p>\n
In a \u201cmaster class\u201d approach to learning, experienced prosecutors from across the state of Tennessee will present instruction on all aspects of criminal trial practice, including jury selection, pretrial motions, opening statements, direct and cross examinations, evidentiary objections, and closing argument.\u00a0 Devoted sessions will focus on interviewing and preparing witnesses, selecting juries, case analysis, charging decisions, discovery, prosecutorial ethics, and professionalism.\u00a0 In those sections requiring student performance (of examinations, opening statement, and closing argument), students will receive critique, including individual reviews of student performances.<\/p>\n
