  Criminal justice seminars and conferences are a way for lawyers, legal support staff, administration, court systems, law enforcement officials, judges and other individuals involved in criminal law to learn about pertinent cases, statutes and other relevant information. Conferences are held regionally, statewide and countrywide, depending on the types of statutes and cases discussed, and can also be a great way for individuals to learn from others who have had very different experiences in very different places.
