Prof. Jeffrey J. Pokorak,
3 credits day; 3 credits evening.
This course will explore aspects of international criminal law, focusing on the United States' role
in the legal regime. The course will consider the basis of international jurisdiction, U.S.
Constitutional restrictions on extradition and rendering, money, laundering, terrorism, and the
nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear weapons reduction treaties. Throughout the course we will
utilize a number of sources- international conventions, treaties, international systems of criminal
justice and jurisdictional cooperation, model codes and statutes, law review articles, and articles
from the popular press. The goal of the course is to initiate students into the legal world of
international crime; articulate how such crimes are currently detected, investigated, and
punished; and generate ideas regarding how the international criminal justice system might better
operate in the growing interdependent global community. Enrollment in both Int'l Criminal
Activity and Int'l Criminal Law Seminar is prohibited.
