Winning Strategies Seminar in Chicago, Illinois June 17-19, 2010.

Register now for the Winning Strategies Seminar in Chicago, Illinois to take place June 17-19, 2010.  Drawing its faculty from the ranks of federal judges, defenders and practitioners, Winning Strategies presents legal techniques for use in securing pretrial, trial, sentencing and appellate relief in a wide variety of federal cases. The seminar will employ both plenary and break-out instructional sessions to present “nuts and bolts” defenses to firearms, drugs, child pornography and immigration prosecutions – as well as to present defenses to more novel prosecutions such as mortgage fraud, identity-theft, etc. Winning Strategies additionally provides important guidance and insights concerning the new post -Booker sentencing landscape now facing federal defense attorneys. Participants will receive analysis of the Supreme Court’s recent criminal law decisions and insights into that Court’s pending criminal cases. They will also hear forecasts from the Sentencing Resource Counsel’s representatives on proposed guideline amendments and will learn strategies to better advocate for – and achieve – just sentences.
