This massive conference includes our very own Maya Kotob!
Thanks to Keli Mersereau and Cass DMelo (the conference co-chairs) for selecting Maya as one of the Top 5 Under 5 (years of call.)
Maya will be speaking on the impact of COVID on NCR and unfit accused.
The conference is very cheap for CLA members ($15 for students, and $25 for senior counsel – $20 for junior counsel) and reasonably priced at $125 for non-members.
