From Investigation to Appeal: AAA-CPA is Going to Court – and You Will Be The Winner!
Join us for this once in a lifetime, private, in-depth tour of both federal courts housed across the street from the Hilton. We will start our day at the U.S. District Court with a behind-the-scenes tour of the processing of a federal criminal tax prosecution from investigation through appeal. Meet with a special agent of the IRS and an Assistant U.S. Attorney (AUSA) as they review their considerations in bringing a case before a federal grand jury. Sit in the grand jury room, as the AUSA and others show us the procedures in securing a true bill of indictment, and how the US Marshal secures the Defendant for arraignment. Hear a U.S. Magistrate Judge outline the arraignment procedures, and review the roles of Pre-Trial Services in this process. In the afternoon, at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit we will learn how to appeal a case. Law clerks, bailiffs, and other Court personnel will address proper preparation, courtroom procedure, tips for success, and other matters to make you oral argument a winning one.
