Mississippi Criminal Law BlogLance O. Mixon of the Carmody Law Office recently completed two series of advanced criminal defense training & continuing legal education (CLE) from the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL), totaling over 25 hours of instruction and workshops. In August, he attended the NACDL’s Annual National Meeting in West Palm Beach, Florida, as the only attorney from the State of Mississippi to be in attendance:
At this conference, titled You Can’t Win a Plea: Winning Trial Techniques from the Masters, Lance participated in courses ranging from cutting edge Preliminary Hearing strategies, to breakout groups with exercises in crafting compelling Closing Arguments, and every component of the trial in between, for all types of criminal defense cases.
In November, Lance attended the NACDL’s Annual Defending Sex Crimes Seminar in Las Vegas, Nevada, as 1 of just 3 attorneys from Mississippi, which included associate Thomas Shaw from the Carmody Law Office.
There, he gained the latest information and knowledge of national trends and tactics for defending against these life-changing accusations, from the arrest and through pretrial motions & trial.
The Carmody Law Office commends Lance O. Mixon for these recent accomplishments, and we look forward to him attending more NACDL conferences around the country in the coming months. The skills that he obtains and refines from these high-level training events will benefit and serve his clients now and in the future.
