CRIMINAL JUSTICE CONFERENCE
Online Registration is CLOSED for this conference.
May 19-21, 2008
Omni Dallas Park West, Dallas
Many electronic discovery disputes are influenced by the fact that an object to be searched and seized is a computer or the data stored on it. This year's Criminal Justice Conference will help judges rule more confidently and settle those arguments by learning how Fourth Amendment analysis applies to electronic evidence. Participants will also choose three specialty tracks: Mental Health, What I Didn't Know I Didn't Know (the complexity of writs, pleas, and admonishments), and Specialty Courts: Dialogue, Discussion and Debate. Judges will also discuss the latest significant decisions from the U.S. Supreme Court and the Court of Criminal Appeals.
