From Arrest to Acquittal:
Improv-ing the Anatomy of a Sex Crime Case
Five seasoned criminal defense warriors from across Michigan bring a complete sex crime case to life unscripted. In this dynamic, interactive 3.5-hour session, presenters will improvise their way through the lifecycle of a high-stakes case, from the initial arrest to the verdict. As the case unfolds in real time, critical strategies will unpack on developing theme and theory, handling discovery, confronting mitigation and deviation, crafting voir dire, and sharpening trial skills. Whether you're a new defender or a seasoned litigator, this session will challenge your instincts, deepen your perspective and leave you laughing and learning.
Warning! Spontaneous brilliance ahead.
