5. Criminal Law.
Professor Minor.
In the study of this subject the student is made
acquainted with the general principles enforced by the
courts in the administration of criminal justice. He is
instructed as to the nature of the more important crimes,
both common law and statutory. Attention is paid rather
to the acquisition by the student of a thorough knowledge
of the leading principles than to the less important details,
which, with a knowledge of the former, he may readily
acquire for himself. The course of instruction embraces a
study of the forms of procedure, the nature, organization
and duties of grand and petit juries; arrests and bail;
indictments, informations, presentments, and the various
defenses; together with the usual incidents of a criminal
trial, such as challenges of jurors, motions for new trial,
bills of exception, motions in arrest of judgment, and writs
of error.—September 15 to November 25—Three times a week.
