Product Description
Crisis! Epidemic! You have seen coverage of opioid use and abuse everywhere lately and it is certainly a topic in the courthouse. There is nothing new about people using opioids, so what has changed? Why is it now an epidemic? Both prosecutors and defense attorneys come into contact with people suffering from opioid addiction every day. They are clients, victims, and witnesses. All attorneys need to have a basic understanding of addiction and the language to discuss treatment options.
Join MCLE’s panel of litigators in a discussion of where we are in the epidemic and how we should be talking about it in court. Learn about treatment options, including medically assisted treatment, and opioid addiction as a medical issue, not just a criminal justice issue. Don’t miss your chance to be at the top of your game in criminal court.
