VIRTUALLY over Zoom for those who cannot attend the session in person

For over 20 years, Richard Ware Levitt has comprehensively reviewed each year’s important Second Circuit criminal law and procedure decisions. His masterful presentation includes his highly useful survey of court reversal rates, broken down by year, judge and primary author. The program also covers significant related cases from other circuits and district courts and US Supreme Court decisions. This session is a must for all serious advocates, especially those in federal practice. As always, it is enlivened by Mr. Levitt’s entertaining graphics, ‘Name That Tune’ quizzes and thoroughly engaging presentation style.

***Application for two (2) hours of New York State Mandatory Continuing Legal Education Credit in Areas of Professional Practice is pending. This program is open to experienced and newly admitted attorneys***
