The Criminal Defense Association of Michigan will present “A is for Attorney” with Lisa Kirsch-Satawa on Thursday, March 7, from 9:30 a.m.  to 5:30 p.m. at the Auburn Hills Marriott, 3600 Centerpoint Parkway in Pontiac.

The program is CDAM’s skills training created for new lawyers. Attendees will experience much of what a new lawyer needs to know to begin practicing criminal defense: interviewing a client, setting up a file, nuts and bolts of criminal court procedures, Q&A. The morning session focuses on procedure and the afternoon session explores trial skills.

Cost for the session is $320 for CDAM members and $400 for non-members.  Breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack are included. To register, visit https://cdam.wildapricot.org.
