Credit for this course precludes credit for Criminal Procedure Survey (LAW 6930).

(2 credits)
This course builds upon the Police Practices course, considering the law and practice of criminal investigations conducted by agencies other than the police -- typically prosecutors (through grand juries) and administrative agencies. Coverage includes: fashioning and enforcing administrative subpoenas; Fourth Amendment, relevancy, and overbreadth objections; legal representation during investigations (including issues of multiple representation, fee arrangements, and duties of disclosure), parallel civil proceedings and criminal investigations, and the disclosure of investigative information to civil litigants and other governmental agencies. Primary focus will be on federal investigations, but investigative authority in state systems (particularly in Florida) will also be considered.
