We have seen the devastating impact illegal drugs have had around the world. In our communities the widespread effects of this illegal and often violent activity is evident. Our Prosecuting Drug Cases Course is designed for the prosecution team -- prosecutors, investigators and lab technicians analyzing these illegal substances.
