About The Program:
|
|
New, revamped, and high energy – don’t miss the symposium with the latest info and hottest topics young lawyers need to know. No lectures here, just conversations with experts as we help you to overcome some of the biggest challenges you face, grow your practice, take care of your debts, and better represent your clients. Also, sharing is highly encouraged - bring your own ideas and examples of what worked and what didn’t, and share with your peers.
Got a question? Dealing with a particularly difficult issue? We’ll try to get it answered. The symposium is all about you! Email in your questions/topics for each session to lspiegel@njsba.com and our panels will address them. Just put the time slot and the discussion number and we’ll do the rest.
