Bundle of Best-Selling Transactional Law Seminars for Mississippi (6 hours)

Overview

Earn 6 hours of CLE credit, including ethics, with five of our all-time best selling courses on non-litigation topics for business and transactional lawyers.

First, Billy Newman peeks into the probate files of over a dozen famous people (both historical figures and modern-day celebrities) to illustrate how to avoid some of the biggest and most common mistakes that lawyers often make when preparing a Last Will and Testament for a client. Lessons are gleaned from the Wills and probate files of people as diverse as President George Washington to comedian Robin Williams, and from classic author Charles Dickens to award winning musician Prince.

Then Russ Willis provides a succinct overview of the essential employment laws that every lawyer should know. In a similar vein, the next course in this best-selling bundle provides a fast-paced checklist of what general practitioners should know about trademarks and copyrights.

Ameila McGowan then presents an introduction to the basics of immigration law -- a topic as important to employers as it is to prospective new citizens.
