DESCRIPTION: Knowing how to effectively use and challenge evidence is critical to litigation success! This interactive session will discuss best practices for challenging other act evidence and using other act evidence to defend your client. Because evidentiary planning and objections can set up a case for litigation success, this session will explore strategies to achieve the best results for defending clients.

TAKE-AWAYS:

• Investigating potential other act evidence
• Strategizing uses for other act evidence at trial
• Preparing for government objections at trial related to the defense using other act evidence
• Motions to challenge the government's proposed use of other act evidence
• Reviewing the differences between MRE 404(b) and statutory other act evidence in domestic violence and sexual assault cases
