The State Bar of Michigan Young Lawyers Section will host the Technology Enhanced Trial Advocacy Seminar at the Michigan State University College of Law on Saturday, June 10 and Saturday, June 17.

The seminar starts this Saturday with a presentation by U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge David W. McKeague, an expert on electronic evidence issues and technological applications in the courtroom.

The following week, attendees will take part in a hands-on training lab aimed at training attorneys and their support staff on electronic evidence software applications.
