Dear Members,

We are in need of speakers for the weekly CLE presentations.  Many of us have developed expertise in an area of law.  For those of us who have practiced for a long time I would ask that you consider sharing some of what you have learned, through presentations dealing with what has recently developed in your field, or an overview of some aspect of your field for those who do not practice in that area, or what you have learned, only through experience. 

For those who have begun your practice more recently, you too have something to give, whether it is your understanding of your area of practice, or a through a particular research project or other techniques that you have learned, that would be of interest. Please contact Paul Lacy directly.
