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.
