Evidence and Criminal Practice
Update, with Barbara Bergman
Thursday, June 11, 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
5 general CLE credits and 1.5 ethics credits
This program shows how to turn stomach-churning, sweaty-palms evidentiary responses into positive demonstrations of confidence and control over the trial process. Professor Barbara Bergman has designed a program that will give criminal litigators the tools to solve real evidentiary crises before and at trial — citing state-specific examples when applicable. You will learn how to respond quickly and effectively to the unexpected as you transform each “crisis” into a valuable opportunity. Bergman dedicates a full segment of the program to expert witness testimony and offers courtroom-proven advice on how to use or attack experts. She also examines the most recent and rapidly developing challenges in this crucial area.

Summer Series: Fraud in the Workplace
Wednesday, June 24, 9 a.m.-12:15 p.m.
3.25 general CLE credits
Even with the tightest internal controls, nearly every business is subject to fraud risk today. In addition to company expansion, reliance on information technology and more complex transactions, a weak economy and stakeholder pressure to improve profits add additional stress and risk factors before they are detected. Besides the financial impact of reducing operating revenue and eroding profits, workplace fraud undermines investor confidence and can ruin a company’s reputation. Our expert faculty will provide a detailed picture of the devastating effects of workplace fraud, teach you how to conduct thorough background checks, discuss the legal issues that arise with investigations and employee discipline and termination, and share valuable information about the methods available for recouping losses.
