OCBA AT WORK
Senior Law Day at the Madison Heights Active Adult Center
Social Media Can Help Win Your Case — Seminar On March 20, the Oakland County Bar Association hosted an informative virtual seminar highlighting the power of social media in supporting legal cases. Manson Ho, Esq., from Magna Legal Services led the session, covering key topics such as rules of engagement, effective strategies, and best practices for leveraging social media during trials. This seminar is part of the OCBA’s range of self-paced online training programs available on demand. Attendees can browse and register for a variety of educational programs, after both in-person and Zoom presentations. To explore the OCBA’s on-demand CLE offerings, visit ocba.org/ondemand.
Thirty senior community members attended a free legal education program, sponsored by the OCBA’s Providing Access to Legal Services (PALS) Committee and financially supported by the Oakland County Bar Foundation, on April 4. The event, held for the first time at the Madison Heights Active Adult Center, marked a significant expansion of the OCBA’s outreach to older adults in this part of Oakland County. The half-day program, which included lunch, provided seniors with valuable legal information and guidance. Attendees had the opportunity to hear a keynote address on estate planning and choose from specialized tracks on probate planning or Medicare/Medicaid planning. Additionally, individuals were able to meet one-on-one with an attorney during the popular “Ask a Lawyer” session, receiving brief advice and counsel on their legal questions.
