Forensic Psychology for Legal Professions
Psychology plays an increasingly important role in the legal setting. However, recognizing and minimizing psychological influences on legal judgments, decisions and actions is not part of legal training. In addition, expertise as a legal-psychological specialist requires in-depth knowledge.
With this in mind, the FernUniversität has developed an academic continuing education program to teach this content to practitioners and interested students.
