Professor and Magistrate Judge Natalie Adams will teach both the Fall and Spring sections of Criminal Trial Practice having taught the course in the Spring of 2024. A former AUSA trying RICO and other major cases, and then a white-collar defense lawyer in private practice, Professor Adams is an ’08 graduate of DLS and of this course

In Fall 2024, Criminal Trial Practice will meet on a compressed schedule like that of the Spring Trial Practice sections. The fall dates are Thursday evening, 9/1; Saturday 9/14, and Sunday 9/15 for an intensive weekend, and then regular class sessions on four Monday afternoons 9/23. 9/30, 10/7, and 10/21. After the regular sessions end, students, in teams of two, will try a case on one of these days: 11/1, 11/2 or 11/3 to conclude their work in the course fully a month before classes end.

Students taking Evidence in the fall may take Criminal Trial Practice concurrently with the course.
