Criminal Law II

Typically offered every other year

Description: An introduction to federal criminal law, to include both doctrine and policy issues. Likely topics include federal criminal jurisdiction, narcotics trafficking, white collar crimes, organized crime and RICO, terrorism, and immigration. Up to 10% of the grade may be based on a short writing assignment, which will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis. There will be a final exam.

Note: Any student taking this class cannot take the Federal White Collar Crimes Seminar due to extensive overlap in subject.

Prerequisite: Criminal Law I.

The American Bar Association accreditation standards require students to regularly attend the courses in which they are registered. Lewis & Clark expects students to attend classes regularly and to prepare for classes conscientiously. Specific attendance requirements may vary from course to course. Any attendance guidelines for a given class must be provided to students in a syllabus or other written document at the start of the semester. Sanctions (e.g., required withdrawal from the course, grade adjustment, and/or a failing grade) will be imposed for poor attendance.
