SproutEd Announces Upcoming CLE Course: Best Practices for Eyewitness Evidence

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Sept. 19, 2025 - PRLog -- SproutEd, a leader in Continuing Legal Education for the Next Generation™, is proud to announce its upcoming course, Best Practices for Eyewitness Evidence, led by distinguished cognitive psychologist Dr. Curt Carlson. The course will be held October 14, 2025 and provides 1.0 MCLE credit.

Eyewitness testimony can sway juries—but not always toward the truth. This program gives attorneys a science-backed advantage in navigating one of the most influential yet fallible forms of courtroom evidence. Drawing on decades of psychological research, Dr. Carlson will explore the science behind memory and misidentification, equipping participants with strategies to:

• Identify flawed identification procedures
• Assess the reliability of eyewitness testimony
• Apply best practices to strengthen or challenge eyewitness evidence in court

By the end of this CLE course, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the psychological science behind eyewitness memory and leave with actionable tools to enhance their advocacy in cases involving eyewitness evidence.
