The Criminal Law Section is hosting its first (to be annual) legislative update on October 5 in Fort Lauderdale. Make plans to join your section friends and colleagues for “Inside the Florida Legislature”—an in-person and live-streamed CLE—and a reception. This unique program will provide the criminal law practitioner with an update on relevant changes to Florida law in 2023 and a preview of what to expect from the 2024 legislative session. Highlighted by a panel discussion featuring ranking members of criminal justice and judiciary committees from the Florida House and Senate, this four-hour CLE will include a presentation on the Florida budget, a recap of the 2023 legislative session by the Criminal Law Section’s lobbyist, and an ethics presentation by the Florida Ethics Institute Director. The CLE is from 12–4 PM; the reception is from 4–6 PM. REGISTER

The legislative update is in conjunction with the Criminal Law Section’s next Executive Council meeting on October 6 from 9 AM–12 PM, in person at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort. Dates: October 5–7, 2023. Room Rate: $229/night. Book online or call the hotel directly at 1-800-810-1531 and reference Group Code ZCLSEC.
