SESSION INFO
Tuesday, February 27, 2024
4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Session Type: Workshop
Across the Country, Pretrial laws and reforms are in a very fluid state. Most states and the Federal system have Pretrial statutes and laws which may or may not being followed in the way they were intended. In United States v. Salerno (1987), Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist wrote, “In our society liberty is the norm, and detention prior to trial or without trial is the carefully limited exception.” This session will focus on a brief history of Pretrial in the US, what it means to actually be a Public Servant and work in the Public Sector, and take an in-depth look at are we actually being good stewards of the public trust with best practices in the Pretrial field.
