TACT Update After much discussion, we have an important update: TACT College has been rescheduled for July 26-28, 2021, at the Irving Convention Center. The health and safety of our members is our top priority. TTLA is committed to following the guidance of federal, state, and local health authorities. The current state of the pandemic and the restrictions on in-person gatherings have made it impossible to conduct the vigorous, meaningful trial simulation that makes TACT such a valuable experience. We considered virtual options, but ultimately concluded that doing so would diminish the experience for TACT students. Afterall, the in-person participation and feedback TACT students receive directly from the TACT faculty is critical to helping you hone their trial skills. TACT students have some options for securing a spot for the rescheduled TACT College or release their spot in favor of a credit or refund. TACT students should contact Lisa Mellors for more information. |
