Training Course
Syllabus:
This program will analyze a drunk driving case, with a specific fact scenario, focusing on the analysis of scientific evidence.
The format of the seminar will involve the presentation of a specific case scenario, including videotaped standardized field sobriety tests. Seminar participants will then analyze the case scenario focusing on the scientific evidence, identifying issues and developing strategies for handling these issues.
Participants will advance their skills in analysis of SFSTs and cross-examination of the arresting officer, as well as issues in breath and blood testing.
Seminar highlights:
- Basic drunk driving defense - a 12-step program
- Review and analysis of the fact scenario - discovery in an OWI case
- Standardized field sobriety testing - science, superstition, common pitfalls
- Ethical issues in a drunken driving case
- Breath testing - the Intoximeter EC/IR
- Blood testing, direct injection gas chromatography
9:00 a.m. - 9:20 a.m.
