from this program by learning practical information from skilled and
experienced practitioners!
Program faculty will speak
from the New York City location and will be broadcast live to other
locations in an interactive video conference format, allowing
“real time” interaction between all locations. This
program is approved for MCLE credit for newly admitted attorneys in all
locations, regardless of format.
This two-day program will
cover different topics in various areas of practice on each day and
offers a total of 16.0 MCLE credits: 1.5 in ethics, 3.0 credits in
skills, and 3.5 in areas of professional practice each day.
