ON-DEMAND: BACK IN THE COURTROOM: PRACTICING DURING THE PANDEMIC PROJECT

December 16, 2020 | Online

Recorded on December 16, 2020. Join AAJ members who recently conducted in-person and virtual jury trials. They will answer your biggest questions about what it's like to conduct a jury trial during COVID-19.
  • What is it like to be back in the courtroom during a pandemic?
  • What safety precautions were implemented?
  • Was any of the trial conducted virtually?
  • What was the overall sentiment of the jurors?

AAJ is not responsible for accrediting or reporting CLE credits for On-Demand programs. Each attorney is responsible for ensuring their state accepts self-application for self-study CLE credits. FAQs on CLE and Education programs can be found HERE.

This on-demand course contains the webinar recording, full course materials, and agenda from the program as well as a certificate of completion for attendees to use when applying for 115 general minutes of self-study MCLE credit.
