The U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas presents A Conversation with Federal Judges. The purpose of this event is to give local attorneys an opportunity to get acquainted with our federal judges and to provide a forum to discuss issues of importance to the bar. CLE credit will be available to attorneys in Kansas and Missouri.
DATE AND LOCATION: This event is offered on Wednesday, April 29, 2009. In an effort to accommodate all attorneys interested in attending, the same program will be repeated in the Fall (date to be determined). We ask that you only attend one of the two luncheons. The event will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Robert J. Dole Federal Courthouse located at 500 State Avenue in Room 180. Check-in will begin at 11:30 a.m. You will be asked to submit any questions you have for the judges at the time you check-in. Lunch will be provided to you at no cost beginning at 12:00 p.m.
