Our first monthly meeting for 2020 will be held on Friday January 24 from Noon to 1:30 p.m. at Cal Northern School of Law. Our speakers will be Butte County Sheriff Cory Honea and Sargent Matthew Calkins who will discuss the duties and role of the Sheriff’s Civil Division. The Civil Division serves court paperwork, conducts evictions along with performing a wide range of levies and sales. Sgt. Calkins will provide attorneys with details about what services the division provides, along with answering questions and discussing common issues which are encountered when processing requests for service from attorneys and pro per litigants. This is a great opportunity for our members, especially those who practice civil and family law to get first hand information from the Sheriff's Office on civil process service and eviction process. I encourage each of you to attend. MCLE credit will be provided. Brown bag lunch.
Here's are the highlights for the meeting:
