Modern Mediation Newsletter - March 2023

FREE CLE UPDATE

This year we will produce two, 20-hour, free, CLE webinars: Legal Technology Webinar in April and Mediation/ADR Webinar in October. As always, you will be able to watch these in your pandemic-free PJs within 12 months of the launch of each ... FOR FREE. Stay tuned for the launch of our new registration and participation platform later this spring.

FREE CLE EMERGENCY REQUEST

I need 25 attorneys to volunteer to each organize one of 50 Legal Tech panels. Let me assign you to one of these topics, then get 2 speakers to record a 30-minute Zoom recording reviewing their 2-page helpsheet on the topic. I work 30 hours a week so that everyone can have 40 hours of free CLE a year. Click here if you can help!
