SUMMARY:LC/MS and its Application in Forensic Toxicology
DESCRIPTION:The Mecklenburg County Public Defender’s Office is hosting a free to attend presentation on LC/MS and its Application in Forensic Toxicology. This presentation is approved for 1 general CLE hour by the NC State Bar. If you need CLE credit\, you must complete the post-cle survey. \nPlease register below by August 29th at noon: \nRegister for August 30th  \nWhen: Rescheduled (from April 26) to August 30\, 2024 at 12:30. You may log in or enter the conference room by 12:15. \nWhere: Anyplace you have internet or the 4th Floor conference room of the Mecklenburg County Public Defender’s Office [to left off elevator at 720 E 4th St Charlotte]. \n Everyone who registers will receive a link to join the day before. \nWhat: LC/MS is the gold standard in forensic toxicology and the detection of elicit substances. Unlike other forms of analytical testing\, LC/MS relies on the principles of chromatography and mass spectrometry coupled together to determine substances. This presentation dives into this testing method and how it offers undeniable detection of substances and can help attorneys understand why it is needed. Additionally\, I will provide a connection between how forensic chemistry can be used to ultimately understand the pharmacological and toxicology of elicit substances and their impacts to the human body. These pieces of evidence can be critical for attorneys and defense attorneys in truly understanding their clients situations. \nWho: Dr. Rohan Parekh is a chemist by training with a plethora of experience dealing with analytical instruments and techniques such as chromatography and mass spectrometry. He has over 5 years of experience working in industry with these analytical techniques as well as a masters in Chemistry from East Carolina University. Dr. Parekh has also completed a PhD in Pharmacology and Toxicology from the Brody School of Medicine which has provided a strong understanding of drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics\, which aids in his ability to serve as an expert. Dr. Parekh has been published in numerous journals including Nature\, and has taught numerous seminars and courses on drug chemistry\, pharmacology and toxicology. These activities validate Dr. Parekh has developed a keen understanding of translational medicine and how drugs/toxicants and their basic chemical reactions can result in direct effects in humans and can alter their states of consciousness and ensuing actions. \nFor those that may have toxicology evidence in their criminal case\, Dr. Parekh is willing to give a free mini-consult on April 26th so you can decide whether you would like to retain him for your case. Please email Anthony.F.Monaghan@nccourts.org if you are interested in speaking with Dr. Parekh on April 26th about your criminal case.

SUMMARY:Making sure the sentence you are asking for is the one you want - FREE Webcast
DESCRIPTION:The Federal Public Defender for the Western District of North Carolina and the Mecklenburg County Public Defender’s Office are co-hosting a free-to-attend\, live webinar on Making Sure the Sentence You are Asking for is the One You Want.  \nPending approval by the NC State Bar\, this presentation is for 1 general hour. If you need CLE credit\, you must complete the post-CLE survey.  \nPlease register by Friday August 2nd at noon:   Register for August 5th  \nWhen: Monday August 5\, 2024 from 12:30-1:30pm. You may log on by 12:15. \nWhere: Anyplace you have internet. Everyone registered will receive a Webex link to join on Friday August 2nd. \nWhat: The presenter will discuss how to help a client at federal sentencing when there are pending and/or related state cases that can impact sentence length and credit. The concepts of primary and secondary custody will be covered so the attorney understands how the Federal Bureau of Prisons calculates pre-sentence credit and also which judge—the state or federal judge—will be deemed (by the federal BOP) to determine whether sentences are consecutive or concurrent. This information will also be helpful to the attorney helping a client at state sentencing when there are pending and/ or related federal cases. In federal court\, when we prepare for sentencing\, we focus—rightfully—on telling our client’s story\, relating that story to 3553(a) factors\, and correctly assessing the guideline range. But when our client has other cases out there\, we also need to understand how the federal sentence will relate to other state sentences\, to make sure that our client won’t end up serving more time than we expect.  \nWho: Shelley Fite serves as National Sentencing Resource Counsel for the Federal Public & Community Defenders\, in which role she assists defenders and other CJA-appointed counsel around the country who are litigating complex sentencing issues. Although Shelley was born and raised in Florida\, she has spent her professional career in Wisconsin as a public defender of one kind or the other and is based in Madison\, Wisconsin. After graduating magna cum laude from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 2006 and clerking for U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman\, Shelley worked first an appellate attorney with Wisconsin’s State Public Defender and then an associate federal defender with Federal Defender Services of Wisconsin. She joined the Sentencing Resource Counsel Project in March of 2021. \nPlease contact Anthony.F.Monaghan@nccourts.org with any questions.
