This course is designed to provide judges with an overview of sentencing practices and various options for traffic offenses. After this course, participants will be able to develop plans for sentencing various motor vehicle law offenders such as younger drivers, older drivers, impaired offenders (both high BAC and repeat). Participants will become acquainted with the consequences of traffic offenses for the non-citizen offender as well as the non-licensed driver. Participants will be able to recognize appointment of counsel issues at critical stages; identify when screening and assessments tools should be used; draft valid conditions of probation with sentencing alternatives; and identify technology used in pre-and-post-sentencing scenarios to fashion and implement effective sentences.
