Description
30 of the most important 2012 U.S. Supreme Court, Arizona Supreme Court and Arizona Court of Appeals cases will be analyzed for both prosecutors and defense counsel by our judges and other faculty members.
The seminar will include insights from Jim Cleary, Deputy Public Defender, Office of the Legal Defender, Maricopa County, with regard to the most influential "defense" cases including several U.S. Supreme Court decisions including Missouri v. Frye U.S. 132 S.Ct 1399 (2012) which discussed plea bargain offers, and prosecutorial discretion to make plea bargain offers, as well as Laffler v. Cooper U.S. 132 S.Ct. 1376 (2012) which discussed assistance of counsel at plea negotiations. Further, do the court's holdings in Perry v. New Hampshire U.S. 132 S.Ct. 716 (2012) signal the demise of Arizona "mistaken identification" pre-trial hearings and jury instructions mandated by State v. Dessureault 104 Ariz. 380, 453 P.2d 951 (1969)?
