This CLE focuses 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.
This CLE is approved for credit
through December 19, 2018.
