Criminal Procedure
Every module follows the same shape: visualize the doctrine, drill it, then apply it through a real case scenario — no passive video lectures, no AI-generated answers, just structured, interactive exercises you can revisit as many times as you need. This course teaches the same core Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendment doctrine as our Law Enforcement course from a different chair — the litigator’s, not the officer’s — and adds the exclusionary rule, standing, ineffective assistance of counsel, and appellate/habeas procedure that course doesn’t cover at all. This course is part of the All-Access Membership.

1. Fourth Amendment: Search & Seizure
Reasonable suspicion, Terry stops, probable cause, the warrant exceptions, and the motion to suppress that actually litigates all of it.
2. Fifth Amendment: Self-Incrimination & Miranda
Custody, interrogation, waiver and invocation, the public safety exception, and Miranda's narrower remedy — case-in-chief exclusion, impeachment use, and physical fruits.
3. Sixth Amendment: Right to Counsel & Ineffective Assistance
Attachment, critical stages, and real depth on ineffective assistance — Strickland's two prongs, plea-bargaining doctrine, and Padilla's collateral-consequences rule.
4. The Exclusionary Rule & Standing
Fruit of the poisonous tree, independent source, inevitable discovery, attenuation, the good-faith exception, and who even has standing to challenge a search.
5. Suppression Motions, Appellate Review & Habeas Corpus
Preservation and plain error, harmless error versus structural error, interlocutory appeal, and federal habeas corpus under AEDPA.
Capstone: The Full Case
One integrated scenario requiring all 5 modules together — the way a real case actually unfolds.
Master Exam Simulator
The capstone's own fact pattern, tested three ways — a timed MCQ sprint, a timed IRAC essay outline, and a timed oral defense against rapid-fire hypotheticals.
