Course Description
Length: 1h 5min Published: 6/1/2022
White collar criminal defendants often suffer prejudice by jurors due to the perception of them taking unfair advantage of those with less means or of squandering a desirable lifestyle. It is the defense lawyer's job to uncover any psychosocial background issues in order to better understand the client and communicate any issues to the judge and jury for mitigation purposes. This course provides an in-depth analysis of criminal mitigation for white-collar and middle-class defendants.
