The Criminal Defense Association of Michigan will present “Evidence Boot Camp C” as a Zoom program on Saturday, June 19, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

This online program offers hands-on small group skills training.  Attendees do not have to take prior Boot Camps to attend this Boot Camp.  Speaking at the training will be Glenn Simmington, Marshall Tauber, and Harry Mihas.

Simmington maintains a general and appellate practice, in both state and federal courts and handles cases involving fraud and abuse, investigation, professional liability defense, civil rights litigation and criminal defense in Flint and surrounding areas.  He graduated from the University of Michigan in 1978 and earned his law degree from Wayne State University Law School in 1981. Simmington was awarded the Jerome F. O’Rourke Advocacy Award by the Genesee County Bar Association in 2015 and has been named the Super Lawyer by his peers for his courtroom abilities and integrity. He has been a regular faculty member for continuing education for CDAM and is a member of the State Bar of Michigan, Genesee County Bar Association, and the
National Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys.

Tauber received his Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Arts & Science from Michigan State University in 1976 and his law degree from Detroit College of Law in 1981. 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, (for 12 years) and, has been a very proud 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.

Mihas, of Smith Mihas PLLC, is an expert in criminal defense and family law in both trial and appellate courts.  He was a staff attorney to U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Gerald W. Heaney, Eighth Circuit, and clerked for U.S. District Court Judges John Feikens, George Caram Steeh, and John Corbett O’Meara, Eastern District of Michigan.  He earned his law degree from the University of Michigan Law School.  Prior to his legal career, Mihas was a television news producer and writer at WXYZ and WDIV in Detroit.
