If you are seeking to boost your criminal law expertise while also earning CPD points, then you should be sure to sign up for two insightful upcoming criminal law CPD courses hosted by Legalwise Seminars in May and June.
2nd Annual Youth Justice Forum
The 2nd Annual Youth Justice Forum, taking place on May 16 in Brisbane, will take a comprehensive look at what’s changing under the latest youth justice reforms in Queensland and how this might affect your ability to successfully defend youthful clientele.
Among the issues explored in this 3 CPD point program is the removal of detention as a last resort, as well as the introduction of more stringent sentences for certain kinds of offences.
There is also now a stricter presumption against bail for young offenders, not to mention the more challenging rules around how to handle things like prior offences and social media as prejudicial evidence.
Criminal Law Advocacy & Evidence: Advanced Techniques and Challenges
Join some of Australia’s most experienced criminal law experts on June 20 in Brisbane to get insights into how to win criminal cases. This seminar is applicable to legal professionals across all Australian territories.
Some of the things you will learn in this 7 CPD point course include how to craft and deliver persuasive addresses, as well as ways to improve your cross-examination skills. In this course, 2 CPD points will be awarded in substantive law, with 5 being attributed to professional skills.
The Criminal Law Advocacy & Evidence: Advanced Techniques and Challenges seminar will also look at effective techniques for approaching appeals and how to handle post-trial advocacy with greater success, including methods for drafting persuasive sentencing submissions.
Other topics to be covered include a look at critical developments in the realm of evidence, such as the handling of vulnerable witness testimonies and forensic evidence, and the often misunderstood issues of criminal attribution and complicity.
