On-Demand Webinar: Red Light, Green Light – Ethical Plea Negotiations
75-minute presentation
Just like the childhood game “Red Light, Green Light,” there are red and green lights that come up during plea negotiations, and there are yellow lights that caution us to “think more about it.” In this 90-minute webinar, Assistant District Attorney Sarah Moore, will explore the red lights, green lights, and best practices in ethical plea negotiations, as well as strategies to help navigate the yellow lights. Attendees will also learn about the ethical obligations of defense counsel to help support a better understanding of all aspects of plea negotiations, including the importance of creating and preserving the court record. The Rules of Professional Conduct, case law, and real case examples will help provide context for discussion.
