Firm kicks off series with focus
on recent tax developments


The Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan (CDAM) will conduct the webinar “Impact of Facial Recognition Settlement on Criminal Defense” on Friday, Jan. 17, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

As a result of a settlement in Williams v. City of Detroit, the Detroit Police Department has made substantial changes to its policies governing facial recognition technology and eyewitness lineups. The changes will likely affect the work of criminal defense attorneys who are representing individuals arrested in Detroit.

This session aims to educate defense lawyers on how the settlement might improve their ability to defend those individuals, as well as national trends in the police use of facial recognition.
