This program is designed for those who have attended previous Police Misconduct Litigation programs or Introduction to Section 1983, as it focuses on cutting edge issues in the field of police misconduct. Learn when a plaintiff can bring a constitutional claim for a wrongful conviction. Standards for police use of “less-than-lethal” weapons will be a critical issue in litigation in the coming years, learn when these weapons should be used as well as when their use may be unconstitutional. Police handling of emotionally disturbed people is changing, learn how police should act in this situation. You will watch as an experienced plaintiff’s lawyer presents expert testimony from a police expert on the use of force and then observe the defense attorney’s cross examination. Finally learn the latest law under the Fourth Amendment including when a police officer can lawfully request identification under threat of arrest.
