The 2021 event will be produced entirely virtually via Zoom and provide 12 hours of instruction, including two (2) hours of Ethics and one (1) hour of Technology training. The courthouse attorneys' lounge has a computer which will also be connected to the event. You will affirm at the close of the event which sessions you attended, so you will not register for each speaker individually.
