Avery Fromet Chosen to Organize DUI Update Seminar for Ohio Attorneys

Each year, the Ohio State Bar Assocation presents a seminar to update practicing defense attorneys, prosecutors and judges in Ohio on the topic of DUI/OVI. This seminar is presented by some of the most pre-eminent practitioners in Ohio. The seminar is presented from the Columbus offices of the OSBA and broadcast throughout Ohio to designated locations where attorneys gather to see and hear the seminar. The DUI Update seminar is the largest of its kind presented in Ohio. All practicing Ohio attorneys are required to obtain 24 continuing legal education credits biannually. Successful completion of the seminar will offer each participant 6 1/2 hours of those credits (over 25% of required credits).

This year, the Ohio State Bar Association has asked me to organize this seminar. Among the topics to be discussed are case law updates, motions to suppress, commercial drivers license issues, ALS appeals, destroyed videos, the use of field sobriety tests at trial, felony DUI's, and OAC requirements for blood and urine collection. These topics encompass some of the major "hot" topics of today.

I am honored the OSBA has asked me organize the seminar and have begun soliciting top DUI defense practitioners and judges to present these topics.

The Ohio State Bar Association, founded in 1880, is a voluntary professional association open to any person who has been admitted to the practice of law. The OSBA represents more than 25,000 Ohio lawyers and judges, nearly 75 percent of Ohio law practitioners. Total membership is about 30,000, which includes legal assistant and law student associate members.
