This July, the Bernard Edelman DWI Law & Science Seminar returns to The Lodge of Four Seasons in Lake Ozark. The seminar, which will take place July 27-28, offers options for in-person or virtual attendance.

Presented by MoBarCLE and the Missouri Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Annual Bernard Edelman DWI Law & Science Seminar provides lawyers with the opportunity to learn from national experts and even better understand the science behind the practice of Driving While Intoxicated law.

Virtual participants will have access to all CLE sessions and plenaries, which will be streamed live online. Paralegals and lawyers new to DWI law are also encouraged to attend the “Bootcamp for lawyers and paralegals” track on Friday.
