About This Course

Today’s police department is under intense and ever-increasing scrutiny. Whether you are on the side of the plaintiff or the defendant, this CLE course will provide a comprehensive overview of how to manage the first steps in a successful litigation of a police liability case. The course, the first in a series, is based on a hypothetical fact pattern and will explain how to select a case, identify the legal claims, avoid conflicts of interest, draft presentation agreements, interview police officer clients, preserve records and defense and prepare documentation.
