22nd Annual Saint Crispin's Day Celebration CLE

250 Years of Resistance

A celebration of the sustained fight for justice in America.

As our nation marks its 250th anniversary, this year's Saint Crispin's Day Celebration CLE will celebrate something worth remembering: 250 years of resistance—of lawyers, advocates, and ordinary people standing against the power of the government and insisting that liberty, dignity, and justice belong to everyone.

JOIN us October 21 and 22, 2026, as we carry that tradition forward with trainings targeted at making our skills sharper and our voices more clear in the sustained fight for justice. We will also celebrate the tangible defense wins achieved right here in our district during this Crispin year. 

We will serve continental breakfast, snacks, and the Annual Crispin Feast. We expect to apply for 12.5 hours of credit over the two day program. As usual, we will present Crispin Awards recognizing great work in federal criminal defense. Be there!
