practitioner, none of these matter without a

client to represent. The Practice is a one-day

intensive discussion about practice manage-

ment and rainmaking. From the initial client

meeting, to the retainer agreement, to tips and

strategies for “keeping the doors open” during

a stormy economy, and organizing your offi ce,

The Practice brings together national experts

and leaders in the criminal defense bar on top-

ics important to anyone in or contemplating

private practice. So join us in beautiful Miami

Beach, for a day dedicated to The Practice.
