CELA will be celebrating its 30th Annual Conference in 2017, and the Education Committee is already gearing up for this milestone event. The 2017 conference will take place at the Oakland Marriott, Friday-Saturday, October 20-21, 2017, with a skills seminar on Thursday, October 19. The conference will offer a number of concurrent 75-minuted sessions. The Education Committee is also in the planning stage for three or four full- and half-day seminars in 2017 and 2018. The CELA seminars throughout the year cover topics variously directed to newer attorneys, advanced practitioners, and all levels.

Please let us know what topics are of interest to you for the Annual Conference and the seminars.  The Education Committee welcomes your suggestions, whether for substantive law, practical skills, theoretical application, demonstration, or any other category. Please send us your conference session and seminar ideas, including any speaker recommendations via e-mail: info@cela.org by December 31, 2016.
