court Basics, Served with a side of Salsa

Presented by:
Doug Campbell – Municipal Court Manager, Bedford
Brady Olsen – CFO, City of Bedford

Come on in and pull up a chair for a lively primer on municipal court operations—no law degree required! We’ll break down the must-follow laws, spotlight what’s truly within the court’s discretion, share best practices, and dish out what finance directors really need to know to separate solid legal footing from… well, pure baloney.

This session is designed especially for finance directors who manage or oversee a municipal court but may not know all the ins and outs of how it actually works. By the end, you’ll be better equipped to ask the right questions, spot red flags, and confidently decide whether your court director knows their stuff—or is just blowing smoke.

Grab a chip, scoop up some knowledge, and let’s taco ’bout courts. 🌮⚖️
