The Colorado Bar Association Young Lawyer’s Division Executive Committee is looking for presenters for their all-day, in-person “Nuts & Bolts” event on May 7, 2026. This is a great low-stakes opportunity for newer presenters to get experience and exposure. Presenters may be eligible for additional CLE credits.

The goal of their “Nuts & Bolts” program is to provide practical, nuts-and-bolts guidance for younger attorneys. This year’s event is focused on pre-trial.

Past topics have included:

  • Drafting and responding to complaints
  • Discovery (civil and domestic)
  • Depositions
  • Drafting and defending summary judgment motions
  • Effective use of expert witnesses
  • Jury instructions
  • A “view from the bench” on pre-trial practice

If interested, please contact the CBA YLD Executive Committee or email RhoneBrackett@gmail.com and we will forward you to the organizers.
