TRAFFIC LAWS, ISSUES and CONSEQUENCES
​
Hon. David Butler, [Ret.], Hon. Scott Kording and Sheila Vicars-Duncan

​
Understanding the various aspects of traffic offenses can be challenging. This CLE program presents an explanation of the traffic court process, plea agreements and trials of traffic cases, and the consequences of traffic offense convictions. Attorneys who either defend or prosecute traffic violations will be better able to recognize the most important issues in traffic cases and the impact of convictions on driving privileges. 
 
Topics to be covered are:
Courtroom procedure for traffic court in McLean County
Plea Agreements
Trial protocol for Traffic Offenses
Graduated Licensing System
Pleas in minor traffic cases
How to read a SOS driver’s abstract
Suspensions and Revocations
Moving violations
Immediate action offenses
Admissibility of traffic violations in personal injury and property damage cases
Issues in some common traffic offenses
Motions to Suppress based on improper traffic stops
​
​The free CLE and lunch will be held from 12.30 pm - 2.00 pm in the basement of the Law & Justice Center.
