This program will provide a full day of training for both newer and more experienced prosecutors on the law, procedure, practical issues, and ethical considerations involved in negotiating and entering pleas, which account for 98% of all criminal convictions in North Carolina. In addition to covering the basic statutory requirements and permissible subjects for a plea deal, this program will also address a number of more complex and real-world issues that arise in this area. Advanced topics will include pleading in and working with cooperating defendants, responding to a withdrawal or breach, the interplay between state and federal sentencing, and post-conviction issues. Finally, an interactive workshop session will discuss and compare plea alternatives for a variety of sample cases. If you’ve ever made a plea deal and then wondered “was that the right resolution…?” this program is for you.

Open to prosecutors, law enforcement, and law enforcement agency attorneys
