There will be demonstrations and lectures by experienced defense trial attorneys. Eighteen hours of CLE credit is anticipated.

The registration fee is $1,500.00, exclusive of room and board. SCDTAA has reserved a block of rooms at the Sheraton at a rate of $155.00/night + tax. Room charges will be paid directly by the participants to the hotel upon checkout. Reservations should be made by August 3, 2026 to ensure this rate.
