WWHGD Associate Caroline Iovino Assists in Organizing Evidence CLE for Florida Bar
May 21, 2008
Weinberg, Wheeler, Hudgins, Gunn & Dial, LLC associate Caroline M. Iovino was recently appointed Vice Chair of the Code & Rules of Evidence Committee of the Florida Bar for the 2008 - 2009 term. As part of her active involvement with the Evidence Committee, she helped organize the continuing legal education (“CLE”) course “Topics in Evidence” that was held May 16 at the Tampa Airport Marriott.
The CLE was a great success, with over 85 people attending the live CLE presentation and another 65 who pre-ordered the taped version.
The all-day event featured six speakers and a seated lunch. The speakers represented an impressive panel, with presentations from former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Florida, Arthur J. England, Jr.; Circuit Court Judge, the Honorable Ronald Dresnick and renowned criminal defense attorney and published novelist Milton Hirsch. In addition, accomplished litigator, Amy Rubin and the talented entertainer John Barkett spoke, as did nationally renowned WWHGD trial partner, Carol Michel, who spoke on the use of demonstrative evidence. The energetic and engaging presenters were well received and the audience responded very positively to all of the panelists.
Attendees of the event were eligible for seven hours of CLER credit through the Florida Bar. According to Iovino, planning the event took a significant amount of work, but the results were well worth the effort. “I am so proud of the CLE we put together,” said Iovino. “I cannot thank each of the committee members enough for making our program such a huge success. I look forward to continuing to work with the committee and planning future events.”
