Judge to discuss courtroom civility and communication

The Oakland County Bar Association will present "Courtroom Civility and the Lost Art of Communication" as a webinar Tuesday, January 9, from noon to 1 p.m. via Zoom. Times have changed in society and many say that civility is a lost art. Civility is the affording of others, respect, and the assumption of positive intentions until or unless otherwise demonstrated. Communication between all parties and the judiciary is an important aspect of court civility. This webinar will provide an overview of court etiquette and expectations for criminal attorneys. The webinar will include a discussion on communication and expectations, and end with Q&A. Speaking at the webinar will be Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Martha D. Anderson. Credit has been approved with the OCBA for 1 Criminal credit and 1 Juvenile credit. Cost for the webinar is $12 for OCBA members pre-registration and $25 for non-members pre-registration. Oakland County MIDC court appointed attorneys can attend for free. To register for this webinar, visit www.ocba.org and click on "events." Published: Tue, Dec 12, 2023
