The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) Jails Division is sponsoring a two-part legal issues update. Join nationally known correctional law attorneys as they discuss recent Supreme Court activity and significant lower court decisions that affect jails across the nation. Participants also receive the most recent information on trends affecting how we manage our jails. Audience participation with questions and answers is an important feature of these sessions.
Learning Objectives:
understand the legal significance of operating a jail.
expand and raise awareness of the constitutional and legal requirements associated with operating a jail.
explore and develop litigation strategies in the event of potential litigation.
identify operational strategies for staying informed of current legal requirements, issues, trends, and “promising practices” impacting their facilities and strategies for keeping staff, and constituents informed of litigation matters.
identify risk management and mitigation strategies to best prepare, protect and respond to incidents before, during and after they occur.
