New Misdemeanor Defender Training
This class serves as an introductory program for attorneys new to misdemeanor cases. Participants develop interviewing, negotiating, and bench trial skills through role play and small group work, and engage in a discussion with prison inmates about the role of counsel and attorney-client relationships. Topics of discussion include stops and searches, impaired driving, probation violations, domestic violence, and other issues in misdemeanor cases.
