Restriction(s): Matriculation in the PhD Program in Clinical Psychology or departmental permission. This course examines classic and contemporary issues in psychology and law. It explores research in a variety of areas in which psychology intersects with the legal system, including areas such as procedural justice, eyewitness identifications, jury decision-making, plea bargains and interrogation. Focus is placed on both basic and applied issues. How has research advanced relevant psychological theory, and what are the implications for future research? To what extent does or should research inform public policy? Students discuss basic psychological theory, relevant case law, and methodological issues associated with conducting research in psychology and law. Issues related to social science evidence, including expert testimony of clinical psychologists, are also addressed.
