Effective Courtroom Testimony APD Academy

We are proud to offer 6 hours of TCOLE and CLE credit for peace officers and prosecutors to attend this free, high-quality training. Every defense lawyer who advises clients to refuse a breath test admits that officers are arresting only people who are intoxicated for DWI—yet DWI cases are very hard to win in front of juries. One reason is that prosecutors and officers are not conveying to jurors what the officer actually saw at the scene and what he knows from his training and experience. This course is dedicated to ethically and professionally presenting officer testimony in DWI cases. Well-crafted reports, effective direct examinations, clear demonstrations, and honest responses to less-than-honest defense tactics on cross will all be discussed, modeled, and practiced.

***PLEASE NOTE: It is recommended that all attendees view two videos, Basic Courtroom Testimony and Intermediate Courtroom Testimony, before attending this program. Search for them at www.tdcaa.com.***
