Wiretaps and hearsay are two of the most complex areas of criminal law. In recent years, they have become a more frequent
feature in criminal trials. What happens to an essential witness testimony if they die before trial? Just how far can the
defence go in getting disclosure of a confidential informant's information? How does the Co-Conspirator's Hearsay Exception
work in practice? What are the new developments in the Step Six procedure? How does a judicially authorized interception
overlap with the law of hearsay? What happens when your own witness turns hostile?
Join us and our faculty of senior judges and counsel to find out the answers, successfully tackle these issues and so much
more. With our renowned fact scenario movie, panels that are not afraid to tackle controversial areas of the law and a set of
papers specifically written for this program, you will not want to miss "Be Careful What You Say: Wiretaps and Hearsay".
