PS 320 - Psychology and Law

This course examines psychological research, methods, theory, and practice as they apply to legal system processes. Experimental (e.g., jury selection) and clinical (e.g., assessment of insanity) applications receive equal weight. Consideration is also given to the proper place of social science in legal and public policy issues.
