Ohio 2012

Scenes from the 2012 OACDL Advanced DUI Seminar and the Trial Skills Workshop.

OACDL Trial Skills Workshop

Hello, OACDL!

I'm in Columbus, Ohio, for my 2nd year of teaching at the Ohio Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers Association Annual DUI Seminar.  I appreciate the opportunity to teach some old dogs (and some young ones) a few new tricks.

I'll be participating in a panel discussion on Breath Test Challenges later this afternoon.  Tomorrow and Saturday will be trial skill workshop days where we'll work on cross examination skills.

Learning From the Master

I will be heading to Tampa tomorrow for a weekend cross-examination workshop led by the master himself, Terry MacCarthy. This is a tremendous opportunity to fine-tune the style of cross I already practice.
