CAP Seminar Schedule

The 2016 CAP Seminars will begin on Friday, August 26. To accommodate the busy schedules of the Court and members of bar, the seminar schedule this year includes the CAP Make-Up Seminars that are now scheduled on the alternate weeks of the CAP Live Seminars. Attorneys will only receive credit for attending a make-up seminar topic they did not already attend as a live seminar. Live seminars will be held in the Erma Henderson auditorium located on the 13th Floor of the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center (CAYMC), and the make-up seminars will be held in the Jury Assembly Room located at the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice (FMHJ). Each seminar will begin at 1:30 p.m. Note, out of courtesy to the speakers and attendees, late registrations will not be permitted beyond 1:45 p.m. Attorneys arriving after 1:45 p.m. will not receive credit for the session.
