Access to State Courts

Introduction to State Courts
This class is taught by attorneys Alexis Garmey Chardon and Kristine Hanly at Garmey Law in Portland. Chardon represents injured plaintiffs in personal injury, civil rights, medical malpractice, employment, and products liability cases. As a criminal defense attorney, Hanly has had successes in suppression hearings, secured acquittals in bench and jury trials, and argued to Maine’s Supreme Judicial Court and the First Circuit Court of Appeals.
