About this event
Medical records often contain the most critical—yet least accessible—information in a case. This program, presented by NACDL, will equip criminal defense practitioners with a practical framework for understanding how these records are generated, organized, and interpreted within clinical settings.
NACDL's presenters will explain how clinicians approach medical documentation for legal cases, walk through the roles and authority of hospital and clinic personnel involved in creating the record, and highlight where attorneys can identify potential medical experts. The webinar will review how diagnosis codes are created, how summary narratives are developed, and how to identify missing or incomplete information that could be significant to your theory of the case.
This session is designed for attorneys, investigators, and anyone working with medical evidence in criminal proceedings.
NACDL encourages you to reserve your spot early.
