CONSULTING
Brad Delapena works on a contract basis with criminal defense
attorneys who determine that a particular case or issue may benefit
from rigorous, appellate-style briefing. Situations vary; trial
counsel may conclude, for example, that a particular prosecution
violates jurisdictional or venue requirements; that a statute is
invalid on Due Process, Equal Protection or First Amendment grounds;
that a complex Fourth or Fifth Amendment issue merits special
treatment; or that an expansive ruling should be sought under the
Minnesota Constitution.
In such situations, Brad can help to more precisely frame the
controlling legal issues. He can then research and write a
camera-ready memorandum for submission to the district court and, if
trial counsel wishes, argue the issues at the hearing. This service
is particularly valuable when trial counsel believes that a pretrial
issue may be either outcome determinative or critical to creating a
strong posture for plea negotiations.
