Liability issues stemming from §1983 claims remain a complex and evolving challenge for courts nationwide, with the Supreme Court playing a significant role in shaping this area of law. American legal scholar and leading expert in civil rights and constitutional law, Dean Erwin Chemerinsky, presents this CLE program, helping practitioners stay informed about the most recent cases, emerging trends, and practical strategies impacting §1983 litigation.

When defendants face criminal charges in multiple jurisdictions, they may end up serving years longer than anyone intended if proper procedures are not followed. It is vitally important that prosecutors, defense attorneys, probation officers, and judges have all of the information necessary to follow those procedures and that they use precise language in sentencing documents and at sentencing hearings. In this one-hour virtual CLE, participants will learn what information must be gathered and what language must be used to effectuate the intent of the parties and the courts.
