WINNING STRATEGIES SEMINAR February 4-6, 2010 San Francisco, CA
Drawing its faculty from the ranks of federal judges, defenders, and practitioners, Winning Strategies presents legal techniques for use in securing pretrial, trial, sentencing and appellate relief in a variety of cases. The seminar will use plenary and break-out instructional sessions to present “nuts and bolts” defenses to firearms, drugs, child pornography, and immigration prosecutions – as well as to present defenses to more novel prosecutions such as mortgage fraud, identity-theft, etc. Participants will receive analysis of the Supreme Court’s recent criminal law decisions and insights into that Court’s pending criminal cases. They will also hear forecasts from the Sentencing Resource Counsel’s representatives on proposed guideline amendments and will learn strategies to better advocate for – and achieve – just sentences.
Though designed to meet the needs of the experienced and less-experienced attorneys alike, Winning Strategies will provide a one-day “Fundamentals Track” on Day I for the those attendees who desire a more basic “building blocks” examination of federal criminal defense practice. Participants will then flow back into the larger seminar on subsequent days. 2/4/2010 to 2/6/2010
