Event Title:
Winning Strategies Seminar II for Federal Defenders
Description:
The Winning Strategies Seminar brings together a dynamic group of attorneys, professionals and judges, speaking on a wide variety of topics, all specifically designed to keep Panel Attorneys abreast of the most recent and important developments in federal criminal defense. This two-and-a-half day program provides attendees with the opportunity to delve into a host of topics which most often confront federal criminal defense attorneys. Sessions include both large plenary lectures as well as smaller "break-out" lectures that meet the specific needs of the advanced practitioner and the less experienced attorney alike. Sessions will include such topics as new sentencing strategies in a post-Booker world, neutralizing and using experts, immigration-related defenses and the new Padilla requirements, understanding and defending computer crimes, persuading judges to move away from over-dependence on the Guidelines, how to attack notices pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 851, defending gun cases, recurring issues in drug cases, how to best take advantage of proffers and cooperation, Supreme Court updates, and ethics.
