SUMMARY:The IRP-Interdisciplinary Representation Program
DESCRIPTION:Attention Parent Defenders: \nThe IRP-Interdisciplinary Representation Program essentially places contract social workers with parent attorneys (at their request) in the same manner that the DSS social worker is assigned to the child.

SUMMARY:2022 IDS Forensic Science Education Series: Challenging Facial Recognition Evidence
DESCRIPTION:Live webinar presented by Clare Garvie\, Training and Resource Counsel\, Fourth Amendment Center at NACDL\nNov. 3\, 2022\, 12:30 pm\n90 min of CLE credit anticipated \nFor the past twenty years\, police across the U.S. have used face recognition as a routine investigative technique with little to no controls\, oversight\, or disclosure to the defense\, despite being the primary\, if not sole\, method of identification in various cases across jurisdictions. This CLE frames face recognition as a biometric investigative technique\, one that has never had its reliability or scientific validity established. It will examine the way face recognition is used in practice\, which carries significant risk for misidentification or other error. Ways to challenge this use and the potential for producing exculpatory information will also be covered. \nRegistration:\nThis program is part of the 2022 IDS Forensic Science Education Series. The webinars will be presented monthly and are free to attend. Attorneys who want CLE credit for attending will be billed $3.50 per credit hour by the State Bar. Use this link to register for all webinars in the series and attend any that are of interest. \nPresenter:\nClare Garvie is the Training and Resource Counsel with the Fourth Amendment Center at NACDL. Previously\, she was a Senior Associate with the Center on Privacy and Technology\, a think tank based at Georgetown Law. She was the lead researcher and author on several the Center’s reports on police use of face recognition. She has testified before the House Oversight Committee and state legislatures and worked with legislators on both sides of the aisle on privacy legislation. Her commentary has appeared in The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, and The Wall Street Journal. She holds a J.D. from Georgetown Law and a B.A from Barnard College in Political Science\, Human Rights\, and Psychology.

This training will cover potential challenges to the constitutionality of device searches and online account searches\, including overbreadth and lack of particularity\, as well as compelled decryption and requesting the return of devices. A walk-through of the software commonly used by forensic investigators will be included as we discuss ways to either limit the scope of digital searches and seizures or suppress the results. \nRegistration: \nThis program is part of the 2022 IDS Forensic Science Education Series.

SUMMARY:Litigating Fair Cross Section Challenges (NC)
DESCRIPTION:“[A]n essential component” of the right to an impartial jury is the “selection of a jury from a representative cross-section of the community.” Taylor v. Louisiana\, 419 U.S. 522\, 528 (1975). \n\n\n\nThe right to a jury that is a fair cross-section of the community is a well-known concept for criminal defense attorneys. However\, the legal and practical complexities in bringing such a challenge create substantial barriers to success in pursuing this core constitutional right. \nThis FREE defender-only[1] training will help equip defense attorneys on how to bring these critical motions. Taught by leading jury expert\, Professor Nina Chernoff\, defenders will learn what courts get wrong about fair cross-section challenges\, how to properly establish a prima facie challenge\, what you should know about your jurisdiction’s jury system\, and what pitfalls to avoid.
