On Demand CPD

Prosecutorial Misconduct | CPD 1.5 hrs

For some time now, the alleged errors of defence counsel during the conduct of a criminal trial have been a common ground of appeal against conviction. More recently, Higher Courts have been prepared to scrutinise the conduct of prosecutors. Aaron Perkins KC and Richard Marchant KC are experienced prosecutors and will review in this recorded webinar the specific duties attaching to prosecutors and the ways in which they fall short of the requirement to conduct themselves as ‘Ministers of Justice’. These include the requirement for accuracy in addresses made to juries, cross-examining in an overbearing manner, incorrect statements on the law, intemperate language and the introduction of inadmissible evidence. Some of the ways in which a prosecutor can transgress are not necessarily obvious.

This webinar is aimed at both prosecutors and defence, and is suitable for all levels. It is also suitable for those involved in regulatory prosecutions.

CPD: 1.5hrs
