MCLE is pleased to present its eighteenth annual comprehensive Conference for criminal law practitioners, featuring the top legal minds from across the Commonwealth exploring emerging practice issues and hot topics. The Criminal Law Conference 2017 focuses particularly on the role of social science in the criminal justice system and its use in criminal cases. With social science data and research bourgeoning in both trial and appellate courts, criminal law practitioners on both sides of the aisle must be comfortable understanding its utility and limitations. The Conference identifies many of the issues to which social science may be applied, educates about the underlying methods, and provides practical advice on the mechanics of using social science evidence at trial. In addition to Conference materials, attendees also receive the Criminal Law Sourcebook & Citator 2018.
MCLE webcasts are delivered completely online, underscoring their convenience and appeal. There are no published print materials. All written materials are available electronically only. They are posted 24 hours prior to the program and can be accessed, downloaded, or printed from your computer.
