Judges are entrusted with ensuring fairness, due process, and compliance with constitutional disclosure rules. This training equips judicial officers with a framework to assess Brady-Giglio compliance, recognize prosecutorial failures, and impose appropriate remedies.
Topics include:
- Judicial obligations under Brady and related precedent
- Detecting and addressing nondisclosure in pleadings and hearings
- Constructive knowledge and supervisory oversight
- Available remedies: continuance, exclusion, dismissal, and sanctions
- Record-building and appellate review considerations
This course affirms the judge’s role as guardian of justice and arbiter of constitutional compliance in every criminal proceeding.
