About This Course
The problem of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is one that remains rampant nationwide. It is a problem that transcends age and socioeconomic borders. Though police and prosecutor vigilance helps curtail the issue, the rise in rehabilitation and education programs serve to provide outlets for defense attorneys to argue for lighter sentencing for their clients. This CLE course will offer a complete overview of the DUI process from the initial stop to case building to sentencing. The course will explain the most common constitutional issues, how to effect successful plea negotiations, criminal and civil penalties, the police investigation process, typical signs of alcohol and drug consumption, field sobriety tests, suppression issues and examining drug recognition experts.
