Illinois MCLE and National CLE Program Presenter Information

Joel Brodsky explains the ins and outs of hearsay and the confrontation clause of the Sixth Amendment. Having spent the last year litigating the issue, he provides in depth analysis of when each evidentiary limitation is applicable. Mr. Brodsky also explains the recent Illinois statute dubbed the “Drew Peterson Law” regarding hearsay and the potential issues it presents to both hearsay and the confrontation clause. This presentation represents the very cutting edge of several hearsay challenges and exceptions.

(Viewers are reminded this is a case study of current objections and arguments in an ongoing and hotly contested case as of June, 2010 and these arguments are shifting rapidly. Please check caselaw and the written materials for changes to the law.)
