  • Attorneys are frequently called upon to review and understand business, accounting, and financial documents in representing their clients, whether in transactional matters or in resolving disputes. This program is designed to enhance the attorney’s understanding of these concepts to better assist her/him in serving her/his clients. To this end, our panels of experts will dissect their knowledge into clear, understandable concepts so attendees can complete the program armed with the skills necessary to meet these challenges and effectively represent their clients.

    Members who are Recent Law Graduates, Newly Admitted Lawyers (earliest admission 2016-2018 in any state or country), Judges (and their staff), or attorneys that practice within the Government, Academic or Not-for-Profit sectors attend this program for free.
