The Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (FACDL) held their 36^th Annual Meeting in Palm Beach June 8-11, 2023. There were approximately 250 lawyers in attendance. The seminars were very informative (with Denis being one of the speakers again) and the venue was perfect for a family vacation and a Convention.  A new secretary was elected (who will go through the ranks and ultimately become president) as well as five directors at large. There is much congeniality and networking that goes on at these annual conventions and this year was no exception. A good time was had by all and we are looking forward to the next year’s in Sarasota.
