Episode Synopsis

On today’s episode Jake looks at the recent North Carolina Court of Appeals decision of State v. Clark, COA23-1133. In Clark, the Court applied the recent United States Supreme Court decision in Smith v. Arizona (listen to Episode 222 for an analysis of that case) to North Carolina. The Clark Court ultimately found a violation of the Confrontation Clause occurred where a substitute analyst gave expert testimony which was based on a lab report by another analyst who did not testify without independent testing. Walk through the highlights of the Clark case and learn how ChatGPT can be utilized to draft a case brief, write a legal memo, prepare a motion to suppress in Microsoft Word, and create cross-examination questions.
