CLE - Live Seminar
USA
Description
Whether representing prisoners while in private practice, public interest practice or as a policy advocate, the issues and the environment in which advocates operate is increasingly challenging and complex. This year, PLI’s third annual program on Prison Law will address the legal framework for civil litigation filed on behalf of prisoners in federal and state courts, from a national perspective.
- The constitutional, statutory, and state law bases for lawsuits brought on behalf of prisoners against individual prison officials and correctional institutions
- How to address common ethical dilemmas that arise in the course of representing prisoners
- The “nuts and bolts” of pleading, discovery, and trial practice in prison cases
- General prison conditions and the failure to protect
- Addressing health issues in prison
