Whiskey 9 will take place in person on March 10, 2023 at Duke Law School. The program will be in-person only.
Forensic science experts and attorneys who have litigated cases involving complex scientific evidence will present on a range of topics to help attorneys understand the latest trends in forensic evidence, limitations to this evidence, and legal challenges that can be made. This year the program will have a special focus on DNA Evidence. There will be a minimal fee for this program to cover the cost of food and parking. The program is expected to carry 6.0 CLE hours.
