SUMMARY:Persuasive Practice in Superior Court
DESCRIPTION:The CPCS Criminal Defense Trainers are accepting applications for an online program that focuses on criminal defense practice in the Superior Court.  This course is open to all criminal defense attorneys at CPCS and to those Bar Advocates who wish to become certified for the Superior Court Panel. Coaching and training faculty will consist of criminal defense lawyers experienced in Superior Court Practice.   The cost for this training program is $100.\nThe stakes are much higher for clients who have been indicted\, and there are important differences in Superior Court practice even for a defense attorney with substantial experience in District Court.  The course will address procedural and substantive topics that every criminal defense lawyer practicing in Superior Court must know.  Participants will also work on advanced trial advocacy skills in the context of cases commonly encountered in a Superior Court Practice. \nAmong other things\, we plan to cover the following topics during the course: \n\nStrategic use of forensic experts in pretrial case preparation and at trial\, including tips on how to successfully challenge the prosecution’s expert qualifications and opinion;\nMotion practice including the legal grounds and evidentiary basis for discovery of protected information under the Lampron/Dwyer seven step protocol to produce\, inspect and use privileged records in court;\nGrand jury proceedings\, indictments\, immunity issues;\nEvidentiary and forensic issues involved in trying sexual assault allegations such as first complaint evidence\, Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) examinations\, and DNA evidence;\nIssues in gang allegations;\nTips for creating and maintaining good client relations in the high stress setting of a Superior Court case;\nProcedural aspects of Superior Court practice\, including the procedural life of a case;\nOpening Statement\, Cross Examination and Closing Argument in complex cases.\nPlease note: there is homework assigned each night as part of this course\n\nWe have re-designed the live version of Superior Court Training into an online program utilizing our learning management system\, Talent LMS. The first week of the program will allow you to prepare for the course by working asynchronously (watching recorded lectures on your own time).  Once the program begins\, you will continue to work asynchronously (watching recorded videos on your own) and you will join us three afternoons  each week (Tuesdays\, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1pm to 4:00 pm) for live lectures and small group sessions (with on your feet skills exercises).  You will also be assigned homework for each live session. We are hoping the last day of the program will happen live (in person!!) but this will depend on various factors. \nZoom session dates are as follows: \nFriday\, May 6\, 2022\, 3pm to 4:30 pm Welcome and Introduction to course on Zoom \nPre Work on Talent LMS – on your own May 9-13\, 2022 (no zoom sessions this week) \nWeek One Zoom Sessions: May 17\, 18\, 19 (Tues\, Wed\, Thurs) 1pm to 4pm \nWeek Two Zoom Sessions: May 24\, 25\, 26 (Tues\, Wed\, Thurs) 1pm to 4pm \nWeek Three Zoom Sessions: May 31\, June 1\, 2\, (Tues\, Wed\, Thurs) 1pm to 4pm \nWeek Four Zoom Sessions: June 7\, 8\, 9 (Tues\, Wed\, Thurs) 1pm to 4pm \nSpace is limited and the course is likely to fill up fast.  Acceptance into the program is based on a number of factors\, including an effort to obtain geographic and other diversity. \nTo apply for this training opportunity\, please send a statement of interest by email  \nto kmunichiello@localhost/cpcs and cc. ksmolar@localhost/cpcs \nYour application must be received by April 1\, 2022.   Please include the following information; \n\nHow long you have practiced criminal defense;\nWhether you are on the Superior\, Youthful Offender\, Juvenile or District Court panel(s) and how long you have been on each;\nDescribe the number and types of jury trials you have undertaken\, including the nature of the charges and whether the trials were in Superior\, District Court or Juvenile Court;\nWhether you have cross examined or presented expert witnesses;\nList the bar advocate programs to which you belong and whether you are a member of any other CPCS certification list.
