You are invited to a thought-provoking legal case study focusing on a sensitive and complex stillbirth case, where the death, leading to arrest and conviction, is allegedly attributed to maternal substance use.
This 90-minute session will feature a deep dive into the case developed by a team of medical experts. They will meticulously walk attendees through the intricacies of the facts, offering their professional insights. The primary objective of this discussion is to collectively identify and explore effective methods for early fact-checking with medical expertise that could critically alter the trajectory of such cases.
The conversation will be expertly moderated by Andrea Lyon, NACDL's own distinguished legal professional.
This session will provide a unique opportunity for legal practitioners to gain a deeper understanding of the medical nuances involved in such cases, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and enhance strategies for early intervention and fact verification.
Interactive Q&A: Your participation is highly encouraged! There will be dedicated time for a question-and-answer session, allowing you to engage directly with the medical experts and moderator to clarify points and discuss methodologies.
