Criminal Law

Criminal Law examines the application of legal principles as a limitation on the definition of crime. Emphasis is placed on the state's ability to punish individuals who commit criminal acts, including concepts such as voluntary acts and omissions, states of mind, strict liability, murder and manslaughter, causation, accomplice liability, inchoate liability (attempt, conspiracy, and solicitation) and defenses (mistake, necessity, duress, self-defense, insanity).
