Overview
When Career Aspirations Led to Unimaginable Crimes
With World War 2 coming to a close, the leaders of the victorious nations had a tough decision: how to deal with the war crimes of the Nazi regime? WWII was particularly hideous due to the Nazis' large-scale efforts to extinguish an entire race of people. Many proposals for the reckoning came forth, ranging from shooting the Nazi leaders on sight to a full-scale trial with due process strictures. The victorious nations settled on a trial that fell someplace in between. In this course, we will weigh the authority of the nations in even conducting such a trial, the law applied, the due process concerns, and the final verdicts. In the end, you will have to judge for yourself - was justice served? Register today!
This program is being designed in conjunction with attorney Joel Oster, Comedian of Law and True Crime Podcaster.

He is admitted to the bar in Kansas, Missouri, Florida and numerous federal courts.
