SUMMARY:Practical Answers to Challenging Questions in the Courtroom
DESCRIPTION:Instructors: Glenn Langenburg\, Carey Hall\, Brendan Max\nCourse Description\nThis 3-day fingerprint testimony course provides practical answers to challenging questions in today’s courtroom environment by delivering the material to you in a novel way. Students will gain practical information for improving their courtroom performance. They will also be better prepared for Frye and Daubert challenges.\nThis unique course is taught by three instructors. Two of the instructors are experienced fingerprint experts. These instructors take turns answering mock court questions asked by a third instructor\, an experienced criminal defense attorney\, who will dynamically attack the answers. The instructors will demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of different responses-both “good” and “bad” answers. Students will be able to ask questions and get feedback on their own personal responses. The instructors will highlight what strategies a defense attorney might take depending on the answer.\nThe instructors will share court experiences\, case law\, and other court decisions so that students are aware of precedent cases and emerging legal trends. Lastly\, the instructors will share published papers\, data\, or the reactions of lay people to court room responses. This approach will give the student valuable insight into the reactions and understanding of the most important people in the courtroom: the triers of fact.\nCourse materials will include summaries of the major class topics\, examples of model answers\, lists of relevant cases\, and reference materials. The course also provides the rare opportunity to gain insight into the strategies and tactics of a criminal defense attorney in a safe learning environment.\nTarget Audience\nAll practicing friction ridge examiners who could be required to give expert witness testimony are greatly encouraged to participate in this thought-provoking\, unique\, course with the aim to provide better answers than what we all have been taught in the past. The material is aimed predominantly at latent print challenges and issues\, although some issues are applicable to both tenprint and latent print examiners.  Tenprint examiners should review the reading list prior to attendance and determine if they think the course content to be suitable.  If your goal is to confidently respond to the challenges presented in the modern courtroom\, then join your peers and gain a better understanding of more contemporary concepts from these three skilled instructors in a format that has never been used in latent print training.\nEach attendee will be issued a certificate for 24 hours of attendance\, applicable for 12 hours of LP/TP IAI certification and re-certification hours (including testimony training).  Students do not testify in the class/perform moot court (the instructors get grilled—not the student!).  We do not record/allow recording of the sessions.

SUMMARY:Next Level Friction Ridge Examinations: Blood Impressions
DESCRIPTION:Course Overview\nThis is a three-day course (24 hours) in advanced friction ridge topics. Specifically\, this course will cover four challenges associated with the examination process: 1) How do the characteristics of friction ridges and the associated distortions change when the impression matrix is not typical “residue”\, but instead a blood matrix?; 2) What new complexities do blood impressions impart in the Analysis\, Comparison\, and Evaluation (ACE) phases; 3) What activity level issues arise from impressions in a blood matrix? And 4) How does the interpretation of ridge detail consisting of blood or complex residue scenarios affect our ACE-V conclusions and reporting?\nThe material will be demonstrated through lectures and practical exercises.  Lecture slides and practical exercises will be provided to the attendee.   We also review relevant literature on this topic and review numerous cases/testimony.\nAlthough not required\, a laptop with the capability to view and annotate latent print images may be desirable for the student to bring.  Practical exercises will be distributed in digital and/or hard copy photograph media.\nTarget Audience\nThe material is aimed predominantly at latent print examiners who have at least a basic understanding of friction ridge examinations\, are knowledgeable in basic distortion concepts\, and are comfortable with complex comparisons.  Trainees are appropriate\, if they have demonstrated a strong grasp of friction ridge fundamentals and have some training in complex latent print distortions.\nAttending students will receive IAI credits towards latent print certification and will be issued a certificate of course attendance.
