Webinar Description

[Legal]

In this webinar, we’ll follow the path of a fictional defendant through investigation and proceedings in his federal felony matter. We’ll use federal law as a touchstone for our discussion of criminal procedure and the Constitution, but we'll also explore how some aspects of criminal procedure may differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, explaining where state courts (for constitutional or other reasons) operate the same as federal courts, and where they might differ.

Ready to deepen your understanding of the criminal justice process? Join us to gain greater confidence in the concepts and terminology of criminal cases.

Key Takeaways:

  • Trace how a federal felony case progresses from investigation and arrest through charging, pretrial proceedings, trial, and sentencing

  • Identify the constitutional guarantees that protect defendants at each stage

  • Compare state and federal criminal procedure, recognizing where they align, where they differ, and why

  • Understand the procedural context behind the proceedings you interpret.
