Since attending the Trial Lawyer’s College, I have attended ten additional regional seminars conducted by the faculty of TLC, as well as a week long “graduate program” at the Ranch.

In addition, in June 2002, I attended a two week Trial Practice Institute at the National Criminal Defense College (NCDC) in Macon, Georgia. A faculty of top criminal defense lawyers from all over the country conducts the NCDC program. There were 96 students, and we studied all phases of trial preparation and trial work. It was an excellent program, with an opportunity to spend time with other criminal defense lawyers from all over America.

In May 2006 and in February 2009 I attended the CACJ/CPDA Death Penalty Seminar in Monterey, California. The program covered presenting a death penalty defense, as well as many topics related to the general practice of criminal defense.

In June 2009 I attended a one week Death Penalty seminar at Gerry Spence’s Trial Lawyer’s College on Thunderhead Ranch in Dubois Wyoming.
