Thursday, August 12, is the date of a 90-minute seminar titled "Marijuana + Minors," offered by the Oakland County Bar Association.
The seminar will feature attorney Lisa Harris of the Family Division of the Oakland County Circuit Court, and will run from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
"According to recent studies, over 35 percent of 12th-graders had used marijuana in the last year, making it the most common illicit drug used in the United States," said a spokesperson for the OCBA. "During this seminar, we will examine how marijuana use affects the adolescent user both physically and mentally. Marijuana use can also lead to problems in school and with the legal system. Find out valuable information necessary to help you represent your juvenile client."
The seminar is worth 1.5 hours of juvenile and criminal credit for attorneys on Oakland County appointment lists.
