The National Alliance to Stop Impaired Driving (NASID) and the National District Attorneys Association (NDAA) invite you to join a webinar comprised of subject matter experts who will discuss the general legal principles behind HIPAA and the exceptions it provides for law enforcement and prosecutors conducting investigations into impaired driving cases. They will also provide helpful suggestions to develop cooperative relationships with hospital personnel to positively impact investigations while minimizing the need for them to testify in court. We hope you join us!

The Confrontation Clause impacts how and under what circumstances the testimony of witnesses for the state is admissible in criminal cases. A series of decisions from the U.S. Supreme Court, culminating in the Court's recent case, Smith v. Arizona, provide guidance about how those witnesses, especially forensic scientists, provide testimony. This webinar will provide a basic yet thorough analysis of the Confrontation Clause and recent Supreme Court decisions, with a focus on Smith v. Arizona, and how the decision impacts the practices and procedures of those working with the criminal justice system. The multi-disciplinary panel will discuss suggested practices that comply with the requirements of the Confrontation Clause and evaluate alternative means of proving an element of an offense in the absence of forensic evidence.
