Deadline to Register: October 17, 2016
This CLE focus on the
work of Innocence Projects both locally and nationally in cases
involving mistaken eye-witness identification. In 2014, the National Academy of Science released its recommendation
that law enforcement adopt four core reforms when conducting line-ups procedures. These recommendations were based on an exhaustive review of studies and literature.
The Core 4 reforms will be presented as well as additional considerations
for lawyers practicing in the field.
Registration begins at 3:45 p.m. Please join us
for a reception following the CLE at Lyon's Pub.
Speaker:
Julie Jonas, Innocence
Project of Minnesota
Julie Jonas is the Legal Director for the
Innocence Project of Minnesota. She has worked for IPMN since 2003. In addition
to her work for the Project, she teaches at all of the Minnesota law schools

innocence.
She has successfully helped to secure the release of
