DUI cases can be quite complex. Judges need to know about the intricacies of searches, seizures, arrests, and a myriad of other criminal procedure issues. Further, judges need to be able to rule upon issues with regard to breathalyzers, blood/alcohol testing, and field sobriety tests as well as understand the pharmacological effects of alcohol and drugs. This program provides judges with state-of-the-art information on these subjects and many others. After this course, participants will be able to analyze circumstances providing legal bases for stops, searches, seizures, arrests and the admissibility of testimonial or physical evidence; enhance a judge’s ability to rule on evidentiary issues; apply the elements of a constitutionally valid guilty plea; review field sobriety tests and other demonstrative evidence; describe the principles of pharmacology to more effectively evaluate expert testimony; and appraise and design effective sentences and sentencing alternatives.

Qualifies as an elective in the Certificate in Judicial Development, Administrative Law Adjudication Skills, Special Court Trial Skills and Tribal Judicial Skills programs.
