Appropriate for courses in Introduction to Criminal Justice, Introduction to Criminal Investigation, Constitutional Law, and Street Law.
Scenario: You are the assistant to the district attorney. You must research the cases and work with the various players in the criminal justice system, including defendants, witnesses, medical examiners, and the police. You must determine whether an indictment is justified and, if so, prove it in court.
Graphics, sound, and text bring these challenging programs to life. At every step, you must choose among a list of actions you can take, and questions you can ask. Every decision determines the next step in the case and, in effect, the outcome of the trial. Your performance is rated at the end of the trial and compared to that of experienced trial lawyers who have tested their knowledge and decision making skills with Murder One.
