8:55 AM - 4:30 PM ET
Basic Pre-Trial Preparation for Criminal Defense Practitioners
Confidence comes from preparation. This CLE is designed to help prepare attorneys by thinking through their cases: from the start with the investigation to the moment the case is called and they put their trial notebook on the counsel table. With a case example, the presenters will instruct and brainstorm with you. We will also provide preparation checklists to make sure you hit all your marks.
Registration includes electronic materials and 6.0 CLE hours.
