Luke Baumgarten has led the efforts to litigate an issue surrounding the external standard of the Draeger Alcotest 9510 breath testing machine used by the Washington State Patrol.

Luke will explain this issue to attendees, providing briefing, and discuss legal strategies to argue this issue. Alex Uskoski will also be present to answer questions. Jason Lantz will provide a brief update on this year's legislative issues.
