CLE Credit Hours: Up to 17 self-study CLE credits, including 1 ethics credit. Please confirm with your state's CLE commission to ensure this program is available for self-study CLE certification.
Program Summary: The government has the power and limitless resources to employ the full machinery of the state to scrutinize our clients: forensic computer analysis, DNA, forensic interviews of children, sexual assault exams, risk evaluations, and seemingly endless investigative techniques. Now is the time to equip our arsenal and fight back. When it comes to representing a client accused of sexual misconduct, defense lawyers need to stay on the cutting-edge of science and the art of persuasion while giving particular consideration to wide-spread and ill-informed public fears. With the 24-hour news cycle focusing the public's attention on sex offenses, it has become increasingly more challenging to persuade jurors that our clients are indeed not guilty. This comprehensive training is designed to help criminal defense practitioners stay ahead of the curve. It will cover the latest information and practical techniques in defending cases involving DNA evidence, forensic psychology, and computer forensics. Our nationally-renowned faculty will also discuss making the most of your persuasive powers in voir dire, jury argument, handling the press and in negotiations.
