I got this notice through one of my romance lists, but I thought people here might be interested in this one. The instructor sounds really cool and it seems like a person could learn all sorts of nifty stuff about the criminal justice system. Anyone out there writing a murder mystery???

The cops know they have the right villain and justice will be served. But, not so fast! The American judicial system is full of more holes than cheesecloth, making it quite possible for the villain to go free. Learn about the caveats of arrests, search warrant affidavits, indictments, grand jury proceedings, evidence, trial preparation, jury selection and strategies used by both the defense and prosecution. Don't be guilty of missing this fact-packed class!
