Location: Detroit, MI

MAACS Roster Attorneys and SADO Assistant Defenders are invited to register for the Appellate Writing Workshop (AWW), an in-person, 3-day writing workshop specifically designed for criminal appellate attorneys. The AWW will be held September 30 - October 2 (Wednesday-Friday), at the SADO Offices in Detroit. The workshop is free and up to 21 hours of CLE are available. Lunch will be provided each day.

The AWW has been described by past attendees as "life-altering" and "amazing." Come and learn why! Attendees will learn new ways to think about their cases and writing, and to be a better advocate for their clients. Check out the workshop agenda! 

NOTE: Regular registration has now closed, but if you are interested in attending the AWW, please contact Kathy Swedlow at kswedlow@sado.org.
