Speaker series
The first ever in-world continuing education classes have been approved for MCLE credit by the State Bar of California. MCLE credit is provided by Fitz2 Consulting (provider no. 14547) and the classes will take place in the SL Bar Association offices. (Check with your jurisdiction to see if California activities are accepted for credit there.)
Best of all, to kick off the series, the first sessions will be free! You can't get a better CLE deal than that.
