Defending Modern Drug Cases (2019)
CLE Credit: Up to 11.25 hours of self-study CLE Credit; including 1 ethics credit, where authorized. Please confirm with your state's CLE commission to ensure this program is available for self-study CLE certification.
Program Summary: Once again, drug prosecutions are on the rise. From challenging the arrest and seizure to picking a jury to cross-examining police officers, defense attorneys handling drug cases must be able to construct a defense that will increase the chances of the client getting a positive result. These modern cases require a practitioner to understand and consider the chemical makeup of the substance labeled a drug, state-specific standards for the delivery of medical services, and how to rebut powerful claims of the visceral effects of addiction at trial.
Effective motion practice, juror selection, and storytelling have never been more important. This program will introduce defense counsel to techniques that have been used at recent drug trials to rebut specific claims and overcome the emotion created in today’s climate for increased drug prosecutions.
