Next up in the CLE Series: Judges Panel June 14
|
This spring, Concordia University School of Law, in collaboration with Northwest Nazarene University, has offered three excellent Continuing Legal Education classes designed to assist area lawyers in honing their oral advocacy skills. The fourth and final class of this series is titled "Oral Advocacy: What Judges Want You to Know" and will feature esteemed members of the Idaho judiciary, moderated by Idaho State Bar Commissioner Molly O'Leary.
The panel will discuss the importance of oral argument, mistakes to avoid, recognizing standards of review, the difference between arguments to the court and arguments to a jury, and focusing on the "close questions". The panel will also address pre-solicited questions from attendees.
This class is pending CLE approval for 1 ethics credit and 0.5 general credits. The cost is $35, includes lunch, and will be held Tuesday, June 14, 11:45 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. at NNU Boise Center, 250 South 5th St., Suite 100 in Boise. To register, email jithompson@cu-portland.edu or call 208-955-1001.
