Founded in 2020, The Missouri DWI Institute, LLC, launched with The 2020 Missouri DWI Institute, a two-day live online conference aimed at Missouri lawyers working from their living rooms during the novel COVID-19 pandemic. Last year, after some pivoting, we successfully offered you The 2021 Missouri DWI Institute. This year the flavor will be changing a bit as we offer the 24-hour NHTSA SFST Course that officers receive in their police academy training. This course is not your average CLE. It will be a limited-seating, three-day, curriculum-rich course for those serious about learning DWI.
Following the great tradition of educating Missouri lawyers forged by Bernie Edelman and our own mentors, Carl M. Ward and Jeffrey Eastman, The Missouri DWI Institute's mission is to educate Missouri lawyers, judges, and law enforcement officers on the scientific and technical aspects of DWI law.
Together, an educated bar, bench, and law enforcement ensure efficient functioning of Missouri's judicial system from the streets to the courtroom. This also ensures accurate forensic science understanding, analysis, and application, which benefits all Missouri citizens.
