Join us for this remarkable opportunity to hear from all seven of the United States Magistrate Judges for the District of Massachusetts. They will discuss the nuts and bolts of Criminal Practice, including:

• Arrests
• Appointment of Counsel
• Pre-trial Interviews
• Arraignments
• Detention and Probable Cause Hearings
• Discovery and the Local Rules

The Magistrate Judges will describe their differing approaches to a variety of issues, as well as common practices.  What are the most effective strategies at each stage of the case?  What are the most common mistakes lawyers make at the beginning of a case?  How can you improve your representation of criminal defendants?

With an opportunity for audience questions, this is a do-not-miss occasion for anyone who handles criminal cases in federal court.
