Mike is a new member of the Economic Section at the U.S. Embassy, but he joins us after a prior career as a lawyer. Having studied Criminal Justice in university, Mike graduated from law school with an emphasis on Litigation and worked in a district attorney’s office, where he prosecuted a variety of criminal cases. After a year prosecuting criminal cases, Mike worked in civil litigation, where he tried cases before juries, judges, and arbitration panels, and on appeal before the Kansas Court of Appeal and Missouri Supreme Court. Mike will talk about the Rules of Evidence and Criminal Procedure and how they impact criminal cases and the rule of law in America.
