The 25th annual Festival of Legal Learning takes place Feb. 13-14, giving attendees an opportunity to complete 12 hours of continuing legal education (CLE) credits from 116 sessions focusing on a variety of topic areas.
Held at The William and Ida Friday Center for Continuing Education in Chapel Hill, the Festival of Legal Learning this year offers a range of educational opportunities that address such topics as consumer law, intellectual property, health law, immigration, insurance, trial skills, negotiation, education law, environmental law and professional ethics.
"We aim to provide educational opportunities of a depth and breadth that would be hard to find elsewhere in a one-and-a-half day program. The festival not only offers high-quality continuing legal education, but has become a networking event that gives colleagues and friends from around the state and nation an opportunity to reconnect while also making new contacts in their areas of interest," says festival program director Judith Welch Wegner, Burton Craige Professor of Law and former dean of UNC School of Law.
Session instructors are recognized experts in their fields and include professors from UNC School of Law, UNC School of Government, UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, UNC School of Social Work and UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School, as well as distinguished guest faculty.
The deadline to register is Feb. 6. Reduced fees are available for judges, judicial clerks, full-time academics, JAG, government, and legal aid attorneys who register before Jan. 23. Registration may be completed online at http://www.law.unc.edu/cle/festival/.
