    Make plans now to join fellow NCADA members and guests in Hilton Head for the 46th Annual Meeting in June!

    The theme for this year's Seminar is "New World Order: The Industry & Juries Have Never Looked So Different."

    We'll take a look at the New Law Firm Model which is de rigueur for anyone looking to understand how firm structures will change. And, for the first time in history, there are four very different generations with contrasting work styles working together in one office. Multi-Generational Work Issues will set up your firm for success in this new era. Follow this up with Meeting Client Expectations to help strengthen your client relationships.

    Whether you're a new or experienced attorney--you will not want to miss the Mock Jury Exercise. And as customary programming will feature the bi-annual Case Law Review and Practice Area Breakout Sessions.

    Seminar Agenda & Schedule of Events

    The room block at the Omni Hilton Head is full and we are working through a waitlist.  Please email Jennifer Edwards to add your name to the waitlist.  There are a plethora of other options on Hilton Head Island too!  Check out options here via the Hilton Head Island CVB.
