The Wayne County Probate Court will conduct its 2016 attorney training session on Thursday, September 29, at the Auditorium in the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center, 13th Floor (City Side). The first of two Attorney Training sessions will be held from 9 a.m.-12 p.m., and the second one is scheduled from 1:30-3 p.m.

Attendance at one or both seminars is mandatory to become eligible to receive assignments from the Wayne County Probate Court (additional requirements must be met). All attorneys must attend the afternoon Attorney Training session (1:30-3 p.m.). Attorneys who did not attend any of the attorney training programs from 1996-2015 must also attend the morning Attorney Training session (9 a.m.-12 p.m.).

If you do not obtain eligibility to receive appointments through this program, payment vouchers for any Probate Court assignments will not be honored by Wayne County.

The cost is $75 (whether you attend one or both sessions).

Registration forms may be obtained from the Chief Deputy Probate Register’s Office of the Wayne County Probate Court, 1305 Coleman A. Young Municipal Center (use elevators closest to Woodward Ave.) or from the Court’s website at www.wcpc.us. On-site registration will also be available.

Note that the 2016 attorney training program will be paperless.

Registrants will receive their materials via e-mail with a link to the Court’s website (www.wcpc.us – Attorney Training – 2016 Attorney Training Materials). Items can be printed out and brought to the seminar. Also, attorneys are welcome to bring their laptops to the program, allowing them to pull up the handouts during the training sessions from the Court’s website, in addition to following the power point presentations by the speakers. Only a limited number of power plugs are available on site.
