Program 1
Alphabet Soup of Drug Offenses
Prosecuting and defending drug cases can, on the surface, appear straightforward where the cases mostly involve professional police investigators and expert witnesses. The legal nuances in both proving the basic elements and in defending the case are, however, complex. Many involve conspiracies with multiple participants, and some amount of prior police investigation. As a result, a successful prosecution or defense involves a thoughtful strategy and careful preparation. Join our experts as we discuss the legal nuances in prosecuting and defending drug cases and explore the best practices for how to introduce the many varieties of physical and electronic evidence. -

Program 2
Trial of a Drug Case in District Court
While most criminal cases are resolved via plea bargain, it is imperative to understand the ins-and-outs of the District Court trial session. This seminar guides you through the major aspects of a trial from motions in limine to closings. The panel of trial attorneys and a District Court Judge steer you through the case and you act as jury. Unlike the jury, you have the opportunity to ask questions after the verdict. Case theory, witness preparation, and strategy are all open for discussion. Find out how experienced trial attorneys prepare their case for trial, from the day of arraignment.Hon. Jason Y.
