CLE: The Bob Chaloupka Trial Skills Seminar
Thursday, November 5 (12noon-4:30pm) – Friday, November 6 (8:00am – 12:30pm)
Location: The Hampton Inn, Scottsbluff, NE
Chaloupka Holyoke Snyder will be presenting this year’s iteration of a CLE program (for the third year) in honor of Bob Chaloupka, who was a distinguished trial lawyer in Nebraska. A special registration rate to law students who may have an interest in a fun road trip to the “wild west” to see an exciting panel of dynamic speakers is being offered. Although there are innumerable topics that continuing legal education can cover, this seminar is dedicated to trial skills and storytelling in the courtroom, which was Mr. Chaloupka's great skill in service to his clients.
These speakers are engaging and will be much more interactive than the dry lectures that CLEs can sometimes devolve into, and there are opportunities for fellowship and networking that may benefit both job-seeking students and prospective employers who are seeking to hire soon-to-be graduates with an interest in working in western Nebraska. Please note that there is a special hotel rate for seminar attendees as well.
