Symposium Highlights
✓ The Cook County Public Defender AND The Cook County State’s Attorney will participate in the same discussion panel discussing implicit racial bias and decision making in the criminal justice. Tell me you don’t want to be in the room when that goes down?
✓ Dana Holland is a real life, wrongfully convicted exoneree. He’ll be in another panel discussion with the appellate prosecutor who litigated the appeal of the landmark decision People v. Lerma. This was the case that finally recognized eyewitness identification expert witnesses as litigate and appropriate evidence in certain cases.
✓ There’s something here for everyone. Firearm and toolmark identification expert believes this area of forensic science is not completely lost. He thinks it has a place in a courtroom. You just have to know exactly where that place is at.
✓ Be there when a real life big city homicide detective confesses to eliciting at least one false confession in his career. No cover up, denial or blaming the defendant ensued. Instead he dug deep to figure out why heck it happened. He’ll share his findings with you…if you are there.
✓ Come on dude, clear your calendar take the day off and come hang out with me. It’s FREE. We’ll be hanging out at the Northwestern School of Law in Chicago, and be learning from A-list presenters. I’ll let you take me out to lunch. I just figured, you know…since the symposium is free.
