He was admitted to practice in the District of Columbia in He has served on numerous state and national commissions and committees focused on the areas of criminal law and evidence. Professor Guzman lectures throughout the country to recent law school graduates to assist them in preparation for the bar examination. He is a member of the national legal honor society, the Order of the Coif. Professor Guzman on Evidence Professor Guzman s program on the law of EVIDENCE, is one of the most popular programs sponsored by the PCBA. This is a great opportunity for the young lawyer or the experienced trial lawyer to brush up on some of the basic and finer points of the law of Evidence. Professor Guzman is the best at presenting the topic in a way that can be easily understood and utilized by practicing lawyers. As an added attraction, the last session of the program will be a panel discussion including Professor Guzman, a U.S. District Judge, a state trial judge and an experienced trial lawyer. This is a chance to explore evidence issues from every perspective. We hope to see you there! Charles T. Coleman, Program Chair Pulaski County Bar Association
