The Missouri Bar Young Lawyers’ Section to host CLE networking events for all Missouri lawyers

The Missouri Bar Young Lawyers’ Section is hosting several continuing legal education and networking events throughout Missouri in November. 

Upcoming CLEs 

Two upcoming CLE events will feature the film “The Milly Project” followed by a panel discussion. “The Milly Project” tells the story of an enslaved woman named Milly Sawyers who fought for and won her freedom in Springfield, Missouri before the Civil War. In 2021, “The Milly Project” won Best Screenplay and Best Social Justice Film and was nominated for Best Acting Ensemble at the New York International Film Festival. Watch the trailer here.
