Summer Federal Trial Advocacy Series
This year the Memphis/Mid-South Chapter is introducing a dynamic, six-part summer series of CLE opportunities, targeted at the federal practitioner. The series will cover the life of a jury trial focusing on key phases from pre-trial motions to appeals. Most of the programs will take place inside a federal courtroom and will be moderated by prominent attorneys and local judges. Incorporated into the lectures will be demonstrations of the techniques and principles of effective trial advocacy. Parts II, III, IV and V will take place in Memphis, Tenn., but will be made available to practitioners in Jackson, Tenn. via videoconferencing at the federal courthouse in Jackson. The fees for each session are: $20 for law clerks, $30 for FBA members and $40 for nonmembers. We look forward to seeing you at this exciting new CLE.
