Are You Up to Speed as the DUI Defense Lawyer Your Clients Need You to Be?
In DUI defense, the science is complex, the law is constantly evolving, and the margin between winning and losing can come down to what you know — and what you don't. If you're serious about being an effective DUI defense advocate, or if you're looking to add this high-demand practice area to your firm's portfolio, NACDL & NCDD's premiere DUI Defense seminar in Las Vegas is the professional investment you simply cannot afford to skip.
This nationally recognized, one-of-a-kind CLE program brings together nearly 500 criminal defense attorneys, experts, and specialized vendors from across the country for an unmatched combination of cutting-edge education and powerful networking. Learn from the best-of-the-best in the field — and leave with a referral network that will benefit your practice for years to come.
Designed with your time in mind, all sessions are held in the mornings only, giving you a focused, high-impact learning experience without sacrificing your entire day.
The thoughtfully structured three-day format includes:
• Day 1 – General plenary sessions covering the most pressing topics in DUI defense today
• Day 2 – Split-track sessions so you can tailor your learning to your specific interests
• Day 3 – Hands-on workshops for small-group, intensive, and focused skill-building in the areas where you need it most
Topics will include: Improving Your Legal Writing, Litigating Discovery, Field Sobriety Testing, Breath Testing, Blood Testing & Analysis, Gas Chromatography, Cross-Examination, DUI Case Law Updates, and much more.
Whether you're a seasoned DUI practitioner looking to sharpen your edge or a newer attorney ready to master the fundamentals in this specialty-area, this is the national gathering you cannot afford to miss. Las Vegas awaits — and so does the training that will transform how you defend DUI cases.
