Description

33rd Annual Seminar - AZ Year in Evidence 2017

 

Judge Crane McClennen will analyze and explore some of the most significant Arizona cases from 2014, 2015, and 2016, sharing meaningful insights that you won't want to miss. Experienced litigators, William H. Sandweg III and William Doyle, will zealously argue the impact of the most critical of these cases on their clients.
