• Prosecuting The Drugged Driver

    This four and a half-day trial advocacy course will teach both prosecutors and Drug Recognition Experts (DREs) to successfully try impaired driving cases using a DRE as an expert witness. The cross training will require full participation in all phases of a mock trial including the direct examination of an active DRE. In addition, participants will receive critiques on their performance from their peers and a faculty of experienced prosecutors and DREs.

    You can find more information on this and any other training the Conference provides by vistiting our Training Calendar.
