Cannabis Legalization and the Impacts on Impaired Driving

Legalization of cannabis raises numerous questions and concerns. How do states prepare to address the impacts of impaired driving and the challenges this presents for the DUI system? This presentation will cover a variety of topics focusing on issues with state and national data gaps, developing probable cause for impairment, roadside technologies, prosecution, toxicology, per se limits, and possible countermeasures. We will also include a variety of resources available from Responsibility.org and the National District Attorneys Association. The discussion will also address newer challenges with legalization of THC Isomers (e.g., Delta 8) and the impacts of CBD on impairment.”

Family Violence Update

Family violence directly affects approximately one-third of all Texans, and indirectly affects countless others. Justice courts are in a position to help stem the tide of domestic violence, and utilize various principles to prevent further violence against survivors, their families, and the community. Law and procedures are continually evolving, and the area of family violence is no different. In this session, the speaker will discuss family violence dynamics; the roles of both bond conditions and magistrate’s orders for emergency protection; legislative changes, including implementation of new uniform forms; and protective order reporting.
