01 · 30-minute session — orientation
- The two-track structure of a Missouri DWI: criminal prosecution vs. administrative license action, and where the refusal and test-result procedures diverge.
- Deadline-recognition risk: why the administrative hearing-request window is easy to miss, and why every computed deadline is an attorney-confirmation item.
- Controlled skill demonstration: one intake run on a synthetic fact pattern, output on screen.
- The verification requirement: authority-gated output,
⛔ OPEN questions, and why "fluent" is not "verified."
02 · 60-minute session — adds practice depth
- Everything in the 30-minute session, plus:
- Discovery package design: which records a breath-test case turns on and the regulation behind each request.
- Client communication: explaining two parallel cases in plain language without promising outcomes.
- Offender classification: the statutory ladder, why priors require confirmation, and classification vs. predicted disposition.
- Foundation categories: stop, arrest, implied consent, observation, permits, calibration.
03 · 90-minute workshop — hands-on
- Everything above, plus:
- A synthetic arrest packet (clearly labeled synthetic) worked end-to-end.
- Manual checklist pass: attendees spot foundation issues themselves before any tool runs.
- Authority verification exercise: trace one skill assertion back to the primary source.
- Generic-prompt comparison: the same packet through an uncontrolled prompt, differences discussed.
- Red-team exercise: attendees try to make the skill assert something unverified.
04 · Learning objectives
