Instructor: Lucian Dervan

Our criminal legal system is dominated by pleas of guilty, not by the trials we so often see on television. Join Professor LUCIAN DERVAN, Chair of the American Bar Association Plea Bargaining Task Force and USN parent, as he examines the historic rise of plea bargaining from a tool of corruption on the streets of Chicago to the dominant mechanism for resolving criminal cases today. Along the way, he will examine various topics, including the trial penalty (the increased sentence one receives simply for exercising their right to go to trial), his psychological deception studies exploring why people falsely plead guilty to offenses they have not committed, the global rise in plea bargaining and what the future holds for plea bargaining in the United States. The discussion will include examination of the ABA Plea Bargaining Task Force's soon-to-be released report, which contains various recommendations for reform. 

Class Fee: $30.00

Age 21 and up.
