DRI’s 2018 Appellate Advocacy seminar will take place on March 14-15, 2018 in Las Vegas: You can access additional details at this link.

According to an email that I received from one of the seminar’s planners, “The 2018 seminar will include valuable insights into effective advocacy (including tips from Bryan Garner), and joint sessions with trial court practitioners. The seminar promises great networking opportunities with judges, appellate practitioners and trial advocates from across the country. The seminar coincides with the beginning of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, a great time to enjoy the excitement of Las Vegas.”
