"A CONVERSATION WITH COLORADO'S WESTERN SLOPE MAGISTRATE JUDGES"

MAGISTRATE JUDGE JAMES M. CANDELARIA
and
MAGISTRATE JUDGE RICHARD T. GURLEY
u.S. District Court for the District of Colorado

  WEBINAR ONLY

FFA invites you for a conversation with our district’s two magistrate judges who serve on the Western Slope: Judge Candelaria, who sits in Durango, and Judge Gurley, who sits in Grand Junction. Many attorneys based on the Front Range rarely have the chance to appear before Judges Candelaria and Gurley, and this program will present a unique opportunity to hear from them on a wide range of topics relevant to both civil and criminal practitioners, including: their backgrounds and pathways to the bench; distinctive regional aspects of their work, including in jury pools and case types; the core functions of their role as magistrate judges, along with practice tips for appearing in their courtrooms and before any magistrate judge, and much more. Whether you practice on the Front Range or the Western Slope, you won’t want to miss this conversation.  

2 general CLE credits requested.
