"Criminal law is one of the most important classes you will take in law school. For some students, it is important because they want to become prosecutors, defense lawyers, or judges. However, a course in criminal law is also important for those students who see their futures in civil practice. Especially in today's society, it is not unusual for clients from all walks of life to have problems that implicate the criminal justice system. For example, a simple business transaction may trigger questions regarding fraud, or a family law case can raise issues regarding criminal abuse. In the final analysis, criminal law is important because it teaches you how to read statutes, interpret them in light of hundreds of years of common law, and argue their application in light of today's policy concerns"--
