This will be an exciting program for both the faculty and attendees. It is focused on capital trial issues, but should be valuable to all defense lawyers. The course will be directed by Jerry Howeth, an Austin attorney who is recognized as an expert in Texas evidentiary law. Participants will learn not only how to apply the rules of evidence in very practical situations, but will be exposed to Jerry's unique method of understanding the Texas Rules of Evidence. The program will consist of lectures and break-out sessions where attendees will apply the rules of evidence to real case situations. Your level of practice will not be the same after this program.
