In this hands-on small group training, a limited group of 16 attorneys will learn about arraignments, attorney-client relationships, probable cause, preliminary examinations, circuit court motions, and more. Attendees will accrue 16 skill training hours.
Cost for the training is $480 per person ($30 per CLE hour). Continental breakfast and lunch will be included. No one-day registrations are allowed. Due to class size restriction of 16, no walk-ins will be allowed. Check-in and networking begin at 8:30 a.m. Training takes place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days.
All attendees are asked to adhere to the OCBA Visitors Policy which requires all visitors to the OCBA office to wear a face mask at all times in the building except for when actively eating and drinking unless they meet one of the following exemptions: unable to medically tolerate a mask or children under the age of 2.
