DAVIDSON CO. SHERIFF’S OFFICE TREATMENT PROGRAMS & THE DRUG COURT PROGRAM
LITIGATING TRUTH & LIES
OVERVIEW
Litigation is often described as a search for the truth. Therefore, it’s not surprising when lawsuits that set out to prove a statement is false, make for particularly complex litigation.
Presented by the Criminal Law & Criminal Justice Committee The Davidson County Sheriff’s Office houses all pretrial detainees, as well as those serving misdemeanor and felony sentences under six years. Learn about all program offerings for inmates including the new Behavioral Care Center. Also joining us is Program Manager Alarick Pruitt from the Davidson County Drug Court Program to discuss how to screen a client for Drug Court and all the program entails.

OVERVIEW
This seminar will cover the perils, pitfalls, and practical aspects of litigating a case that stems from (what one side believes is) a lie. This will include the basics of defamation law, related causes of action, procedural obstacles and defenses such as the recently enacted Tennessee Public Participation Act, and collateral issues that affect clients outside the courtroom when they seek to litigate “truth” inside it.
