Program Description:
If your specialty is Criminal Litigation, you will benefit greatly by continuing your day with our distinguished faculty who will explore the special evidentiary issues that specifically apply to the criminal arena. Once again, whether you are a novice or a seasoned practitioner, if you desire the latest practice pointers from the leaders in criminal evidence law, this program will get you up to speed on issues including:
Making and Preserving a Record: Where Evidence Meets Advocacy
This panel discussion among a trial judge, an appellate judge and a practitioner with both trial and appellate experience will focus on refreshing witness's memories, impeaching witnesses with prior inconsistent statements, and preserving the record of evidentiary issues in order to maximize your chances of success on appeal.
404(a)(1) and 404(a)(2): Character Evidence in Criminal Cases
This discussion will focus specifically on the exceptions to the general ban on act propensity evidence, including what types of character evidence would be admissible, in what forms the evidence has to be admitted, and the scope of cross-examination as it pertains to these exceptions.
Confrontation Clause Issues: Crawford v. Washington
This case set off a revolution in the treatment of hearsay statements offered against criminal defendants. Colorado and federal courts have been busily defining what is inadmissible “testimonial hearsay” ever since. Our program discussion will provide an up-to-the-minute review of the case law in this fast evolving area of law.
