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

Add to Cart

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 we present a very practical series of tips for overcoming one of the biggest challenges of law practice -- time management.

Then the third course in this best-selling bundle provides a fast-paced checklist of what general practitioners should know about trademarks and copyrights and how they affect run-of-the-mill transactions.   (And each point is illustrated with a high-profile example from recent news headlines!)

And finally, earn ethics credit with a look at the intersection of ethics and lawyer mental health with Billy Newman's look at how the struggles of past U.S. Presidents provide apt illustrations of the challenges of law practice -- and the necessary coping skills.
