Winter semester kicks off

The Oakland County Bar Association kicked off the winter semester of OCBA U, its continuing professional development program, with a series of seminars focusing on effective trial practice in Oakland County. The classes, called “Court Rules,” began Thursday, Jan. 12, at the OCBA offices in Bloomfield Hills.  Speaking on Oakland County Circuit Court—Civil Cases on Jan. 12 were (seated, left to right) Oakland County Circuit Court Judges Martha D. Anderson, Shalina D. Kumar and Phyllis C. McMillen; along with (standing, left to right) J. Scot Garrison, staff attorney to Circuit Court Judge Rae Lee Chabot, and Sarah Kuchon of Hohauser Kuchon who moderated the panel. Each “Court Rules” seminar focuses on a different Oakland County court.  Judicial staff attorneys lead off each seminar with an overview of pretrial matters and effective motion practice. The second part of each seminar consists of a moderated panel of sitting judges discussing best practices in oral advocacy and the dos and don’ts of practicing in their courtrooms. The next seminar will take place Feb. 9 and will focus on Oakland County Circuit Court – Criminal Cases.
