WELA’s Annual CLE 2021

November 4, 2021

$50.00

Registration is Open for WELA’s Annual CLE!
Trials in 2020 and Beyond

The CLE will take place Thursday, November 4, 2021 from 9:00am to 4:00pm, virtually via Zoom. 

We will hear from litigators who have tried cases during the pandemic, as well as judges who have designed virtual trial protocols, presided over virtual trials, and can share insights about what a return to “normal” trials may look like in the coming years. Last but not least, we will hear key case updates during our perennial favorite “Mutt  & Jeff Show.”
