Public defender discusses ‘Unseeing the Prosecution’s Case’ July 10
The National Association for Public Defense (NAPD) will present a webinar on “Unseeing the Prosecution’s Case” Thursday, July 10, from 2 to 3 p.m.
This presentation will discuss the way to approach developing a defense from the beginning of a representation of a client. Attendees will learn how to move past the discovery and expand the information to lay the groundwork to developing a proper theory of defense. The program will also explore strategies to control the evidence which is presented to the jury so the facts of the case are those which best support a theory of defense.
Speaking at the webinar will be Andre Vitale who has served as a public defense lawyer for more than 25 years as a trial lawyer, training director, educator, and mentor. He currently works as the First Assistant Deputy Public Defender with the Essex Trial Region of the New Jersey Office of the Public Defender. He has developed an expertise in defending homicide and sex cases, with a proficiency in contesting forensic and other technical evidence, including DNA, fingerprints, CSAAS, and eyewitness identification.
Cost for the webinar is $50. To register, visit https://publicdefenders.us/event/unseeing-the-prosecutions-case.

‘Three Levels of Multidisciplinary Governance’ explored online
The Michigan Judicial Institute will present a “Three Levels of Multidisciplinary Governance: The Steering Committee, Treatment Court Team, and Advisory Board Webinar” hosted by Problem-Solving Courts (PSC) on Thursday, June 26, from noon to 1 p.m. via Zoom.
Treatment courts bring together the expertise, resources, and legal authority from several professional disciplines to provide evidence-based treatment and complementary services, close supervision, and judicial oversight for high-risk and high-need persons. Three levels of multidisciplinary governance and service coordination are required for treatment courts to function effectively.
The success of multidisciplinary programs like treatment courts depends on how well the partnering agencies coordinate their roles to achieve mutually agreed-upon goals, practice within the bounds of their expertise and ethical obligations, share appropriate information, and avoid interfering with the work of others.
This session will explore questions, provide practical examples, and discuss strategies for getting the community involved in developing their steering committee, treatment court team, and advisory board.
For registration information, contact PSC@courts.mi.gov. After registering, participants will receive a separate e-mail with the Zoom credentials.
