    Nuts and Bolts

    Location

    Coleman A. Young Municipal Center, 2 Woodward Ave., 13th Floor Auditorium, Detroit, Michigan

    This session is designed to provide a basic overview of the practice of law in the court formerly known as Recorder’s Court. Just how are cases processed in the Wayne County Circuit Court – Criminal Division? What is expected of an attorney when he is appointed to represent an indigent defendant accused of a felony? What changes have been made and what changes might we expect in the future from court administration? During these difficult economic times, how can we defense lawyers handling assignments maximize limited resources in order to more effectively represent our clients?

    Audio-visual Discovery and The Michigan Medical Marijuana Act

    Location

    Coleman A. Young Municipal Center, 2 Woodward Ave., 13th Floor Auditorium, Detroit, Michigan

    Ken Glaza of K & R Audio and Video Forensic Services will demonstrate what you can do with audio or visual evidence in nearly any format. When you receive the in-car video tape from the police department, how will you present it in court? Can you tell whether what is missing was caused by an “equipment failure,” or was the evidence tampered with or corrupted? Ken will demonstrate how your audio or visual evidence can be collected, presented, and enhanced, so that your courtroom presentation will have the impact you desire. Our own “cannabis counsel,” Matthew Abel, will be speaking about the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act, including; the requirements for obtaining a medical recommendation and a state Medical Marihuana Program identification card, where such a recommendation or card may be helpful in defending a marihuana charge, the affirmative defense authorized by the law, court decisions, and pending appellate matters.
