'Evidence Boot Camp D' offered September 24 at OCBA

The Criminal Defense Association of Michigan will present “Evidence Boot Camp D” on Friday, September 24, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Oakland County Bar Association, 1760 South Telegraph Road, Suite 100, in Bloomfield Hills.

The OCBA and CDAM present this hands-on training for court-appointed counsel with less than two years of criminal defense experience. This training fulfills eight hours of the mandatory 16 hours of skills training for these attorneys.  Due to class size restriction of sixteen, no walk-ins will be allowed.  Registrants must bring a copy of state or federal Rules of Evidence. Attendees do not have to take prior Boot Camps to attend this Boot Camp.  Speaking at the training will be Joan Morgan and Marshall Tauber.

Morgan has served as faculty of CDAM’s Evidence Boot Camp (EBC) since 2019. She is a graduate of the University of Michigan, the University of Georgia, and the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law. After a federal clerkship, she had a private practice for 30 years, followed by a position at the Federal Community Defender Office. Morgan has been employed at Neighborhood Defender Service of Detroit since 2019.

Tauber received his bachelor’s degree from Michigan State University and his law degree from Detroit College of Law. After stints with a few small Detroit area law firms and contractual work with the State Appellate Defender Office, Tauber opened his own law office in Oakland County in 1983. Initially concentrating on criminal defense and general civil litigation, his primary practice has gradually gravitated into criminal defense at the trial level. In 1992 Tauber was elected to the Board of Directors of CDAM and served on CDAM’s Executive Board beginning in 1995. From 2003 through 2005, Tauber served as president of CDAM. He also remains an active member of CDAM’s Education Committee and has been a member of the Criminal Defense Trial College faculty since 2008. Additionally, he served as the 1995-96 chair of the Criminal Law Committee of the Oakland County Bar Association and as a member of the OCBA’s Public Advisory Committee on Judicial Candidates from 1998 through 2002.
