Everything BUT The Trial School

Deadline to Register: March 28, 2017

You’ve been to our trial school and are a dogged litigator. Or better yet… you’re new to the criminal practice, and a seminar on what’s what would be helpful. Do you realize just how much is happening, in even the seemingly simplest of cases?  Come learn from our experienced presenters and how they handled everything from that first call in the middle of the night through jury trial and/or sentencing. This year our focus is on providing accurate and meaningful advice under the difficult conditions of the implied consent call; conducting an initial consultation that serves the client as well as it sells service; and how to craft and present well-structured and effective sentencing arguments.  However, this year Everything But the Trial School focuses on one particular fact pattern that will be used to conduct a complete Rasmussen Hearing with a judge, prosecutor, defense attorney and police officer who will bring decades of experience and insights that might help you win your next contested hearing. The same fact pattern will be used at our annual trial school later in the spring to provide an in-depth study of the life of a single case.
