Law and Human Behavior
Textbook Exam Questions
Course Introduction
Law and Human Behavior explores the complex interactions between legal systems and human psychology. The course examines how laws are interpreted and applied in real-life situations, the psychological processes underlying legal decision-making, and the impact of legal institutions on individual and group behavior. Topics include the role of perception, memory, and cognition in witness testimony and jury decisions; the influence of social, cultural, and ethical factors on legal outcomes; and how individual differences affect compliance with laws. Through case studies and interdisciplinary research, students gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between law, society, and human conduct.

Q1) What are the Mohan criteria? Outline the four criteria and identify a potential problem with them.
Answer: a.The Mohan criteria are the Canadian criteria which outline factors that should be considered when determining the admissibility of expert testimony in court.The four criteria are:
-The evidence must be relevant.
-The evidence must be necessary for assisting the trier of fact (i.e.,it goes beyond the common understanding of court).
-The evidence must not violate any rules of exclusion (i.e.,it must not relate to whether a witness is telling the truth).
-The testimony must be provided by a qualified expert.
b.These criteria are potentially problematic as they are highly subject to the discretion of the judge and judges can sometimes be wrong (e.g.,the judge determines if the evidence actually goes beyond the common understanding of the jury).
