Colorado Criminal Defense Bar DUI Defense Manual 

Rhidian is an expert contributor to the Colorado Criminal Defense Bar's DUI Defense Manual, a practice guide written by Colorado DUI defense attorneys for other lawyers who defend DUI cases. The first volume was published by the Colorado Criminal Defense Institute in 2015.

Colorado DUI Survival Guide: A Citizen's Protection Manual (2013)

Rhidian Orr co-authored the Colorado DUI Survival Guide: A Citizen's Protection Manual with fellow DUI defense attorneys Bruce Edge and John Hunsucker. The guide was published by Whitehall Printing Company in 2013.

The guide was produced through the Colorado Criminal Defense Bar as a resource for people facing DUI charges.

Inside the Minds: Navigating DUI Drug Cases

In late fall of 2011, Rhidian Orr was asked to participate in and author a chapter in the Aspatore Inside the Minds book series on DUI law, published by Aspatore, a division of Thomson Reuters. Inside the Minds chapters are comparable to whitepapers or thought-leadership essays, addressing the most important issues that lawyers face and offering strategies for managing those issues and effectively working with clients.

Inside the Minds: Navigating DUI Drug Cases was published in the spring of 2012 and is authored by leading DUI attorneys from across the country, each with his or her own chapter. Past and current authors of Aspatore books include executives from leading companies and partners from over 95 percent of the largest 200 law firms.

Rhidian Orr has been recognized as a thought leader in the practice area, and was thus asked to participate and author a chapter in this prestigious publication. Rhidian authored a chapter titled "Knowledge is Power: Learn to Discern the Difference Between Good and Bad Science in DUID Cases." We hope you enjoy reading this chapter, as it was written in such a way that all who read it would hopefully understand its content and meaning.

Teaching & Speaking on DUI Defense 

Rhidian is regularly invited to guest lecture at continuing legal education programs and DUI defense seminars across the country on DUI defense strategies and techniques. In Colorado, he has taught DUI defense at the Colorado Public Defender's Conference, the University of Denver Sturm College of Law, and the University of Colorado Law School. Together with Tim Bussey, he helped create a DUI training program for Colorado's public defenders. He presented at the Colorado Criminal Defense Bar's 2013 DUI Conference and serves as a faculty member for the National College for DUI Defense and Trial Skills University.
