This year’s program offered virtually selections from our originally scheduled, in-person program. This annual program is a forum to consider wrongful convictions and answer the questions: Why do wrongful convictions occur? What can be done to reduce the likelihood of wrongful convictions?

The State Bar of Texas has approved these recordings for a total of 6.25 hours, which includes no ethics. TCOLE Credit is also available. Credit is only available for those who did not attend, or have not already claimed credit for the November 2020 program.

NOTE: Access is restricted on mobile devices for credit compliance.
