About the Course
This course is ideal for beginners in criminal law as well as law students. If you are already practicing criminal law for 3-5 years, you already know what we are going to teach in this course, through your sheer hard work. However, if you haven’t already gone through this terribly hard phase, this course will make your job easier, faster and enjoyable.
In other words, this will simplify the first one to three years of struggle when you start a criminal litigation practice on your own or begin to learn under a senior. Learning fast is a critical factor in moving ahead of your peers, and this course makes that possible.
Who should take this course
