As you consider your spring semester courses, please note that the Law School will again offer Advanced Criminal Prosecution as a one-credit<\/u> intersession course over Spring Break week (March 5\u20139, 2018).\u00a0 Like the last several years, 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. Advanced Criminal Prosecution is intended to offer a select number of students (maximum of eight) 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 their performances.<\/p>\n
