We’re a few days into CDAM’s Trial College, and there’s still plenty more to come!

It’s been a packed week so far with hands-on training, practical skills, great conversations, and plenty of opportunities to learn alongside fellow criminal defense attorneys from across Michigan.

One of the best parts of Trial College is getting out of the traditional classroom setting and putting those skills into practice. Our attendees have been working, learning, asking questions, and challenging themselves throughout the week, and we still have two more days ahead of us!

Here’s a look at some of what we’ve been up to so far.

Thank you to our faculty, attendees, and everyone helping make this year’s Trial College such a great experience.

Two more days. Let’s finish strong!
