Join us for a comprehensive 90-minute CLE webinar: From NCMEC to Trial: Constitutional Issues in Child Exploitation Cases, Presented by John Phoebus

Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) cases present some of the most complex constitutional challenges in criminal defense. From warrantless searches by tech companies to National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s role in evidence collection, these prosecutions are fraught with Fourth Amendment and Confrontation Clause issues that many defenders miss.


What You'll Learn: 

How CSAM investigations actually work
Spotting Fourth Amendment violations at every stage
Private search doctrine: Why courts treat ESP searches differently than government searches
Challenging search warrants
Confrontation Clause issues when NCMEC reports are offered as evidence
A practical checklist for your next CSAM case

Whether you're handling your first CSAM case or your 50th, this training will equip you with court-tested strategies to protect your clients' constitutional rights.
