Registration will start at 11:00 a.m. on Friday and continue thru to the end of the symposium on Saturday. The uniform for all instructional sessions will be the Army Combat Uniform (ACU) in either the Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP) or Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP); Airman Battle Uniform (ABU); or service equivalent. Civilian attire is professional business casual attire. Casual attire may be worn for social events but should be professional in appearance. We have a great list of speakers this year. The training provides an opportunity for an interactive exchange of information and ideas on a wide range of current legal topics unique to the practice of law. This year’s presentations will focus on the areas of Administrative Law, Criminal Law, Ethics/Professional Conduct, Geopolitical Issues, Military Justice, Historical Issues, and Regulatory Updates. The majority of this instruction will qualify for mandatory Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit with most State Bars. In fact, the State of Alabama’s Bar Association is working to approve this course for up to a total of 8 hours of CLE credit which includes 1 hour of ethics.
