Description: Some of the most critical decisions in a criminal case happen before charges are ever filed. Join us for the return of this informative class that focuses on the strategic considerations and advocacy skills criminal defense attorneys need when representing clients during the pre-indictment phase. Our expert faculty covers three core areas of pre-indictment practice, including representing witnesses before the grand jury, negotiating cooperation agreements with the government, and securing favorable pre-indictment plea dispositions. In addition, the class explores key procedural and constitutional issues, including the following topics:
- Navigating immunity deals and understanding their limitations
- The grand jury process and defense counsel’s role
- A client’s right to assert the Fifth Amendment and marital privilege
Whether you're new to criminal defense or looking to sharpen your pre-indictment strategy, this class provides essential tools for protecting your clients when the stakes are highest – and the opportunities to influence outcomes are greatest.
