Product Description

 

This isn’t just Miranda v. Arizona and Terry v. Ohio; we know you went to law school. If, however, you practice in District or Superior Court in Massachusetts, these are the cases with which you must be familiar. In every practice, the ability to anticipate and comprehend the important legal issues of the day is grounded in an understanding of foundational cases and an appreciation of trending authority. Join MCLE’s all-star faculty for a summary and analysis of Massachusetts criminal case law that you must be fluent in to practice successfully in the Commonwealth. These cases cover a variety of topics governing your practice—from pretrial matters through sentencing hearings. This roundtable-style program provides direct access to the expert panelists in a highly focused setting.

The seminar is designed to benefit prosecutors and defense attorneys alike, and participants leave with a balanced understanding of those cases that are the foundation of any criminal lawyer’s practice. Learn how these cases shape the law— and how to use them in your practice.
