Can’t attend in person? The Virtual Annual Meeting “Lunch & Learn” Oct. 5-9 will showcase all the CLE programs from the in-person Annual Meeting. During the “Lunch & Learn,” attendees can log on for sessions during midday time blocks while still having time to attend to their practice each day. Click here to register for the virtual option.

Remember, if you are a lawyer who was admitted after Sept. 1, 2024, you can register at no cost for the virtual “Lunch & Learn” or the CLE-only package for the in-person Annual Meeting.
