The seminar took place October 21–24, 2026.

The seminar was held at the Sahara Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, 2535 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada.

The seminar was billed as offering approximately 10.5 CLE credits.

Criminal defense attorneys specializing in DUI/DWI cases, forensic experts, and legal vendors.

Sessions were scheduled to cover legal writing, litigating discovery, field sobriety testing, breath and blood testing, gas chromatography, cross-examination, and DUI case law updates.

No; all sessions were scheduled for the mornings only, providing focused training without consuming full days.

Lawyers who rarely try impaired driving cases would get less, and the exhibitor list was mostly forensic and legal marketing vendors, so it suited those shopping for case tools more than general practitioners.

Defense attorneys at CLE seminars usually wear business casual, such as slacks and collared shirts or blouses, and the Las Vegas resort setting kept it relaxed, with a layer for chilly air-conditioned rooms.
