CLEs put on by courts, in my experience, tend to not only be worthwhile, but extremely fun.
Interacting with Judges, Clerks, Court Administrators and attorney colleagues that you otherwise encounter only in non-social settings fosters meaningful relationships. Also, when you frequently practice in a court, there is nothing more valuable than receiving practice pointers, upcoming procedural changes, and common pitfalls straight from the Court.
Today, all Durst Kerridge attorneys–minus Maddie, who is in Vancouver for the Taylor Swift concert!–attended the First District Court of Appeals’ second Annual CLE, held at the University of Cincinnati School of Law.
Not only were Paul, Alisé and I all here, the Firm was also well represented in the sense that our cases were featured in the 2024 Civil Case Law Update presentation. We handled some significant appeals in the First District this year, including:
- First Financial Bank v. Tailored Fund Cap LLC, an intercreditor dispute in which we won reversal of a $1,187,886.29 judgment against our client, as reported by Law360. See prior blog posts here, here and here.
- S&T Bank, Inc. v. Advance Merchant Servs., another financial services dispute in which we represent several merchant cash advance companies, also reported by Law360.
- In Re: L.E.S, E.S., N.S., a same-sex custody and constitutional law case that was recently accepted by the Supreme Court of Ohio.
Like last year, the sessions were informative and a great time was had by all.
