Sustaining Members

In furtherance of our mission and purposes, the College has established a "Sustaining Member" class of membership to recognize exceptional attorneys who meet the eligibility criteria established for sustaining membership by the Board of Regents and who through their knowledge, trial experience, continuing education and reputation among peers in the field of DUI defense have committed themselves to being leaders in furthering the educational mission of the College and in promoting the ideal that lawyers defending persons charged with intoxication related offenses deserve and should expect exceptionally well educated, well prepared, and competent representation.

Sustaining Members, once designated as such, remain as such for the duration of their membership with our College. Sustaining Members comprise some of the most influential DUI defense attorneys nationwide.
