NACDL's Annual Meeting & Seminar 2010

NACDL's 2010 Annual Meeting and Seminar will be held at the beautiful Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel in the cosmopolitan city of Toronto, Canada, August 11-14, 2010. Make your plans today to join NACDL and your colleagues from around the country for another world-class CLE--and consider making it a summer family getaway!

This program is specifically designed to prepare you to face pressing issues that are among the leading causes of sleepless nights for defense counsel, your clients, and their families --- preventing and correcting wrongful convictions. You will learn about the necessary and proven strategies that have worked in mitigating the presumption of guilt in cases involving highly-charged allegations, how to acquire cutting-edge discovery requests to help you obtain favorable evidence, trial tactics that can prevent false confessions, address flawed eyewitness testimony, and how to exclude evidence as junk science.

Presentations will also address strategies that can prevent excessive or inappropriate sentences, cutting-edge investigative and trial preparation techniques used on both sides of the border, and the ethical implications of conducting an aggressive and effective investigation in Canada and the U.S.
