We had a great day yesterday with the return of our in-person annual CLE seminar. Thanks to all who joined us, and a special thanks to our presenters and to NELA-GA board member Paul Sharman for chairing it.

We rounded out the day with a professionalism presentation from U.S. District Judge Steven Grimberg of the Northern District of Georgia. He led what turned into a round-table-style discussion with our members about professionalism, litigating heated cases, court procedures, and what is working well and where there is room for improvement in the court’s local rules and individual judges’ practices.
