Challenging evidence in litigation discussed online

The Criminal Defense Association of Michigan will present the webinar “To 404(b) or Not to 404(b)...That is the Question” online Friday, January 30, from noon to 1 p.m. via Zoom.

Knowing how to effectively use and challenge evidence is critical to litigation success. During this interactive session, presenter Mary Chartier, of Chartier & Nyamfukudza PLC, will discuss best practices for challenging other act evidence and using other act evidence to defend your client. Because evidentiary planning and objections can set up a case for litigation success, this session will explore strategies to achieve the best results for defending clients.

Attendees will learn about: 

• Investigating potential other act evidence

• Strategizing uses for other act evidence at trial

• Preparing for government objections at trial related to the defense using other act evidence

• Motions to challenge the government’s proposed use of other act evidence

• Reviewing the differences between MRE 404(b) and statutory other act evidence in domestic violence and sexual assault cases

Cost for the webinar is $40 for CDAM members and $50 for non-members. To register, visit https://cdam.wildapricot.org.
