We are in the midst of the NCDD Summer Session for 2012 hosted by the National College for DUI Defense. It is THE premier DUI training seminar. The brightest minds in DUI defense are called upon for this three- day intensive training seminar which covers the most important aspects of DUI defense. There is a whole lot to learn!
Like in years past, the NCDD Summer Session will be held at the facility of Harvard School of Law in Cambridge, MA. Also like in years past, all of the attorneys of The McShane Firm will be in attendance. No DUI law firm in Pennsylvania sends as many lawyers to the NCDD Summer Session as The McShane Firm.
I am also humbled and honored to announce that I have been selected to speak in front of the conference on my personal area of expertise, DUI blood testing. My speech will be entitled: Basic Gas Chromatography for Blood Alcohol Content. For me this is a huge achievement because being selected to speak at the summer session is the ultimate recognition of my hard work and research in the fields of forensic science and DUI blood testing.
