SUMMARY:Friday\, November 13\, 2026 All Day General Topics and Criminal Law CLE
DESCRIPTION:November All Day General Topics and Criminal Law CLE\nFriday\, November 13\, 2026\nThe Greenwood\n75082 LA-25\, Covington\, LA 70435 Covington\, Louisiana 70433\nMap/Directions \nGENERAL CLE TOPICS\n9:00-10:00\nHon. Scott U. Schlegel\, Judge\, Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal\nAI And The Justice System: Shaping Tomorrow’s Legal Landscape\nThis presentation will explore how artificial intelligence is changing the courts and the work of judges. We will consider whether and how judges should use generative AI\, where these tools can assist judicial work\, and where important limits should remain. We will also examine how AI is changing the cases coming before the courts\, including its impact on discovery\, the authenticity and reliability of evidence\, courtroom behavior\, and emerging technologies such as AI-enabled wearables. Finally\, we will discuss deepfakes and other synthetic evidence\, the challenges they create for authentication and fact-finding\, and the practical steps courts should consider as it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish what is real from what is artificially generated. \n10:00-11:00\nJessica Brewster\, Clerk of Court\nSt. Tammany Parish Clerk of Court: Office Updates\, Legal Developments and Court Division Overview\nThis presentation will provide an overview of recent updates within the St. Tammany Parish Clerk of Court’s Office\, including operational improvements\, technology enhancements\, and procedural changes relevant to practicing attorneys. It will also cover current legal updates that impact filings\, court operations\, and administrative processes. In addition\, attendees will receive a structured review of the 22nd Judicial District Court divisions\, highlighting any changes\, trends\, or points of interest that may assist attorneys in navigating the court system more effectively. \n11:00-11:15 Coffee Break  \n11:15-12:15\nJohn Lindner\, Esq.\nCriminal Law for Civil Attorneys\nSooner or later\, all civil attorneys are consulted concerning a criminal matter. Many times\, it will involve your client\, client’s family member\, or a friend. This presentation provides the civil attorney with a basic outline of criminal procedure. Topics include getting bail set for your client\, initial appearances\, meeting with the District Attorney\, and alternatives for your client that can avoid a criminal conviction. The CLE will also discuss Juvenile Court procedure. \nCRIMINAL LAW CLEs\n9:00-10:00\nCameron Mary\, Esq.\nVoir Dire is fun\, and other lies.\nIt has been said that cases are won and lost in jury selection. It is true. Voir Dire can be intimidating but doesn’t have to be—it can be fun\, if you look at it as the opportunity that it is. This hour will explore the ground rules of jury selection in both civil and criminal cases\, methods\, tips\, tricks and considerations of this most important aspect of jury trials. Hopefully\, this hour can help assuage any lingering fears or doubts you may have about the process. \n10:00-11:00\nJay Carrington\, Chief Public Defender\, 22nd Judicial District\nCross-Examination: Modern Techniques for Trial Lawyers\nCross-examination should advance your narrative\, not just defend against the witness’s direct. Using the chapter method\, this course covers how to break cross-examinations into clear\, goal-driven segments that support your theory of the case. Topics include drafting effective leading questions\, sequencing\, managing difficult or hostile witnesses\, and executing clean impeachments. Attendees will gain a repeatable\, controlled framework for telling a compelling story to the jury. \n11:00-11:15 Coffee Break  \n11:15-12:15\nJudge-Elect Blair Alford\n22nd Judicial District Court\nJohn Alford\nAttorney at Law\nObjection\, Your Honor! Now what? Hearsay and Impeachment\nA practical\, hands-on CLE about keeping it in\, keeping it out\, and catching them in a lie. An active discussion for trial lawyers about the rules of evidence and their application during a hearing or trial.

This fast-moving session covers significant disciplinary decisions\, new advisory opinions\, conflicts and malpractice issues\, developments in law-firm practice\, and the growing impact of AI and other technology on lawyers’ professional obligations. More than a recap of new cases and rules\, the program focuses on what these developments mean in practice—and the lessons lawyers can use to spot problems earlier\, manage risk\, and make better decisions in their day-to-day practice. \n2:00-3:00\nElizabeth Sconzert\, Esq. and Tara Smith\, Esq.\nProfessionalism as Leadership: What Women-Led Firms Can Teach the Profession About Building Trust\n(Professionalism – Pending Approval)\nEarly leadership decisions play a defining role in shaping a firm’s professional identity.
