Who decides what’s legal? What’s the difference between a trial court and an appellate court? What rights do defendants have—and what happens when those rights are violated? Through interactive activities and case studies, students will uncover how laws are interpreted, how judges and juries make decisions, and what roles lawyers, police, and citizens play in the pursuit of justice. Whether you're dreaming of a future in law or just curious about what really happens after someone says “You’re under arrest,” this course will give you a deeper understanding of one of democracy’s most powerful systems.
