This is part two of our program for attorneys interested in handling higher level felony cases at the trial level. The focus of the training will be on two important aspects of this work: defense trial strategies in serious felony cases and sentencing advocacy. Specific topics will include defending forcible felonies, eyewitness identification, self-defense, habitual felon, the law of sentencing serious felonies, mitigation investigation, preservation issues, and effective sentencing presentations. The program is comprised of lectures and intensive small group workshops. Due to the interactive nature of the program, participants are required to attend all sessions.
