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 and comedian Robin Williams, from Charles Dickens to 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.
And finally, Billy Newman concludes this bundle with a unique ethics hour -- he weaves the fictional stories of Sherlock Holmes to take a sympathetic look at the mental health challenges that make lawyers more likely than any other profession to experience addiction, depression, and even suicide. But the session concludes on a positive and optimistic note.
