How Lawyers in Hennepin County Can Positively Influence Policing Through Brady

Event Description

An HCBA Signature Program: Provided at no charge for HCBA members.

Many lawyers would like to participate in constructive police reform, but very few have any direct influence on police department policies. Brady is one way for the entire criminal bar to have an impact on police reform. This CLE will provide a brief overview of Brady requirements under the law, including the requirements under the rules of professional responsibility for lawyers and judges as well as comparing and contrasting Brady & general court rules of evidence and criminal procedure. The presenters will provide details on how rigorous Brady practice will have a positive influence on policing and public safety by providing constructive suggestions for city leaders, prosecutors, defense attorneys and judges.

Paul Ostrow | Assistant Anoka County Attorney since 2010, Minnesota Coalition on Government Information Board Member 2015-2022
