Towards that end, our department has been certified as an MCLE provider by the State Bar, sponsors 3-4 in-house MCLE training events at our office each year, encourages all staff, and invites all criminal defense attorneys to participate.  Attached are the most recent and upcoming training events. This year, our Department has added lunchtime MCLE presentations on various topics, offered each month on the second Wednesday of each month, from 12:15 pm to 1:15 pm, free of charge. To attend a training offered by our office, please RSVP to Jennifer McDermott by email at jmmcdermott@solanocounty.com or by calling 707-784-6700.
