Drunk Driving

For even the most seasoned attorneys, defending DUI cases has always presented special challenges. Today, due to legislative developments, the introduction of incredibly sophisticated blood alcohol-testing technologies, and an increasingly harsh prosecutorial climate, mounting a successful defense is more difficult than ever. That's why attorneys rely on Drunk Driving Defense.

Written by Lawrence Taylor and Steven Oberman, Drunk Driving Defense has been selected as the official textbook of the National College for DUI Defense and is generally considered to be the standard-bearing reference in the field.

Drunk Driving Defense ensures that you understand the chemical, biological and technological concepts and issues underlying DUI prosecution and defense. Rely on authors Taylor and Oberman to bring you up to speed in key areas including:

The key defects inherent in blood and breath analysis and testing.
