Federal Criminal Procedure for State Court Practitioners
| Faculty: | Matthew Kaiser |
| Production Date: | September 22 2010 |
Description
Even the most seasoned criminal lawyer can find him or herself in federal court feeling like a fish out of water. This course is designed to give state court criminal attorneys the information they need so they never appear out of their element in federal court practice. Attorney Matt Kaiser explicates the important differences between federal and state court practice, focusing on the two different views on brief writing, the complexities of the federal sentencing guidelines, and making novel arguments involving concepts such as void for vagueness or jurisdictional issues. He also shares wisdom gained from experience in federal criminal court that you cannot read about in practice guides; such as how to deal with a rogue probation officer and the importance of pre-trial services interviews. Further, Matt Kaiser offers good advice on how to deal with a client's needs, including finding creative ways to get a client released on bail. Considering the wide range of federal crimes and broad scope of federal jurisdiction, all criminal defense attorneys, whether they are actively seeking to practice in federal courts or not, should watch this course so they are prepared when the time comes.
