What is the Attorney Training Program?

The Attorney Training Program was initiated by Wayne County Probate Court in early 1996 to promote and insure the effectiveness of counsel assigned to represent parties in probate matters.  Completion of one or both sessions of this seminar is mandatory for all attorneys desiring to qualify to receive future assignments from the Probate Court. 

 

Do I have to attend both sessions?

Attorneys who attended any of the attorney training programs from 1996 - 2011 are only required to attend the October 4, 2012 afternoon program for recertification.  Attorneys who did not attend any of the seminars from 1996 - 2011 must attend both the morning and afternoon sessions. 

 

Will the seminar be offered again this year?

No.  We only offer the seminar once a year.

 

How much is the Attorney Training Program?

The cost is $75.00 total, whether you attend one or both sessions.
