<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In January 2011, the Wisconsin Legislature made substantial revisions to Wis. Stats. Ch. 907 regarding the admissibility of expert testimony. These revisions have brought <st1:state><st1:place>Wisconsin</st1:place></st1:state> into line with what is known in the federal system as the “<i>Daubert</i>” standard and potentially opens up a new area of litigation concerning what scientific testimony should now be permitted in <st1:place>Wisconsin </st1:place>courtrooms. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The program will begin with Professor <st1:personname>Dan</st1:personname>iel Blinka, one of <st1:state><st1:place>Wisconsin</st1:place></st1:state>’s foremost experts on evidence, explaining the new law and how federal courts have construed it under <i>Daubert</i>. Professor Blinka’s presentation will be followed by separate breakouts for defense lawyers and prosecutors to discuss litigation under the new standards. Finally, the program will conclude with a presentation by Circuit Court Judge Ellen Brostrom and United States Magistrate Judge Patricia Gorence on how the courts should apply the new statutes.</span></span>Wisconsin State Public Defenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00847838040585653139noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955736362796726036.post-40105691064752095542011-04-07T13:43:00.002-05:002011-05-10T15:01:16.059-05:00On-Demand: Chapter 51 Involuntary Civil Commitment CasesWisconsin State Public Defender's On-Demand Training presents...<br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">In January 2011, the Wisconsin Legislature made substantial revisions to Wis. Stats. Ch. 907 regarding the admissibility of expert testimony. These revisions have brought <st1:state><st1:place>Wisconsin</st1:place></st1:state> into line with what is known in the federal system as the “<i>Daubert</i>” standard and potentially opens up a new area of litigation concerning what scientific testimony should now be permitted in <st1:place>Wisconsin</st1:place> courtrooms. <o:p></o:p></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The program will begin with Professor <st1:personname>Dan</st1:personname>iel Blinka, one of <st1:state><st1:place>Wisconsin</st1:place></st1:state><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">’s foremost experts on evidence, explaining the new law and how federal courts have construed it under </span><i>Daubert</i>. Professor Blinka’s presentation will be followed by separate breakouts for defense lawyers and prosecutors to discuss litigation under the new standards. Finally, the program will conclude with a presentation by Circuit Court Judge Ellen Brostrom and United States Magistrate Judge Patricia Gorence on how the courts should apply the new statutes.</span><br />

SPD's 2011 Trial Skills Academy<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;">There are still spots available for the <i><b>SPD's 2011 Trial Skills Academy</b></i>, May 9-13 in Lake Geneva. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-size: small;">Not only is </span>Trial Skills Academy a great learning experience for newer lawyers, it is an opportunity for more seasoned lawyers to gain a new perspective on the practice of law. Every year, Trial Skills Academy enrolls lawyers with a broad range of experience--ranging from just out of law school to over 30 years of practice!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;"><br />
</span><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I'd like to share what an energizing experience going back to the SPD's Trial Skills Academy is for more experienced attorneys. When I went back to TSA after 10 years with the SPD, I was surprised by how much easier it was to understand the trial skills training than before. Those 10 years of seasoning and experience made the lessons taught by the outstanding TSA faculty much more valuable. Because time and experience had made me a more capable lawyer, I was better able to capitalize on the nuanced and subtle practice skills the faculty presented. Going back to TSA also gave me a chance to fall in love with criminal defense trial work all over again. I also really appreciated the close friendships I made with other experienced students at TSA. Those friendships have lasted through to the present, and I’m proud to point out that many of those colleagues are now leaders in the SPD.</span></i><br />

</span></i></div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">After about 20 years of practice and after about 10 years with the agency, I attended the SPD's Trial Skills Academy. During that week I was taught the story telling method of presenting a case to a jury. Immediately after I returned from the training I began to apply the techniques I’d learned, not only in trial, but in interviewing clients, presenting sentencing arguments and in other ways. The training gave me a new perspective on approaching cases and I believe it made me a more effective advocate for my clients. </span></i><br />

In order to assure a quality experience, the program is limited to 64 participants. Participants are divided into eight small groups based on experience level. Small groups engage in mock voir dire, opening statements, direct examinations, cross examinations, and closing arguments. Citizens from the surrounding communities act as jurors and professional actors portray the witnesses. In addition to small group exercises, the <st1:place><st1:placename>Trial</st1:placename> <st1:placename>Skills</st1:placename> <st1:placetype>Academy</st1:placetype></st1:place> format includes lectures, demonstrations, and workshops by a nationally renowned faculty. Skills taught can be applied universally, and are not specific to <st1:place>Wisconsin</st1:place> law. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
