Search & Seizure Law in Colorado: Update and Overview
Presented by - H. Morley Swingle, Esq.
Program Description:
A thorough knowledge of search and seizure law is vital to the practice of criminal law. Prosecutors can lose a case before even filing it by giving incorrect advice to police officers. Defense lawyers can miss issues completely, causing clients to be needlessly convicted. Judges can violate their oath to uphold the Constitution by issuing incorrect rulings.
Not one word of the Fourth Amendment has changed in over 200 years, but search and seizure law is constantly evolving, as new cases are added to the Fourth Amendment mosaic. Staying current on the latest developments in this area of the law can be difficult and overwhelming.
This half-day seminar will give practitioners an overview of search and seizure law, while highlighting the latest decisions from the U.S. Supreme Court and Colorado appellate courts. It is designed to be useful for both experienced criminal law experts, as well as new practitioners.
The course materials consist of the new CBA-CLE Book "Search and Seizure Law in Colorado, First Edition" that can be taken to court at the next suppression hearing, putting the applicable case law at your fingertips.
Each homestudy order receives a copy of the CBA-CLE book "Search & Seizure Law in Colorado" as part of the course materials for this program. Please note the book will be provided in PDF or in Print based on your homestudy product selection. Print versions of the book will be provided with CD Homestudies only. Video-on-Demand and MP3 orders provide the book in a searchable, PDF format.
