Bundle of Best-Selling Transactional Law Seminars (Missouri)
Overview
Who says CLE has to be boring? Make the best use of your time with this special collection of six hours of our all-time best-selling courses for non-litigators. Includes our surprisingly interesting discussion of the basics of drafting Wills - taught by examining the good and not-so-good provisions in the Wills of famous people! After that, Billy Newman presents his popular lectures on what general practitioners need to know about copyrights and trademarks (warning: it's a heck of a lot more interesting than mosts people realize!), and he illustrates these practical pointers with examples involving celebrities in recent high-profile disputes involving trademarks and copyrights. We then take a look at some new gadgets and technologies that really can simplify your life and practice. Finally, we introduce you to two specialty areas of transactional practice -- entertainment law and sports law. Shawnassey Brooks discusses the fundamentals of representing clients in music projects. And Bus Cook, famous sports agent/lawyer for NFL legends Brett Favre, Steve McNair, and Cam Newton, explains the unique ins and outs of representing professional atheletes.
This bundle of On-Demand CLE courses (watch them online, or download the audio as an mp3 file) are considered "self-study" courses under Missouri MCLE Rules. The Missouri rules permit attorneys to earn a maximum of 6 hours of CLE per year through "self-study" courses of this nature. The remainder of your annual MCLE requirement in Missouri must be earned with "live" CLE courses (like our Barristers Live Webcasts -- available on the "Live Webcasts" page of this website).
