Bar / Professional Activity
- Josh Teague has taught other attorneys, at the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (GACDL) DUI Bootcamp, how to challenge Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST) evidence in DUI cases. His presentation focuses on cross-examining the arresting officer on how the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus, Walk-and-Turn, and One-Leg Stand tests were administered and scored, on the officer’s actual training and certification, and on the officer’s departures from the protocols in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing manual. Josh shows attorneys how to use the NHTSA manual itself as a tool on cross, holding officers to the standards they were trained on and showing jurors how deviations from those standards undermine the reliability of the test results. His teaching draws on the same hands-on approach he brings to defending clients at Teague Law., 2019
