OCTOBER WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4 4th Amendment Suppression Issues: The Times, They Are a-Changin’ 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. Few areas of law are changing as rapidly as that of search and seizure and the surrounding issues of suppression under the 4th Amendment. This all-day course will offer insight from experienced members of the bench and bar into the developing principles related to vehicle stops, search warrants, probable cause, confessions, and more, including discussions on new Maryland law related to the odor of marijuana and car stops. We will also explore how Maryland’s rapidly changing marijuana possession laws will impact this broad area of criminal law, particularly as it relates to adjudicating motions to suppress. Coordinator: Judge Debra L. Dwyer Faculty: Judge David A. Boynton; Judge Michael J. McAuliffe; Judge Dennis M. Robinson; Andrew V. Jezic, Esq. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10 Family Law for District Court Judges 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. As a District Court Judge, have you found yourself navigating into family law waters without a life jacket?

Faculty will cover many of the more nuanced issues around child custody determinations, financial status and assets of parties in considerations of emergency family maintenance, and use and possession of property as forms of relief in protective order proceedings.
