Subject: [blindlaw] NABL BREAKING NEWS REGARDING TENBROEK SYMPOSIUM

Greetings:

As many of you know, we are conducting the Fourth
Jacobus tenBroek Law Symposium on April 14th and
15th in Baltimore.  In addition, I am pleased to
announce that just today Thomson-Reuters agreed
to help cosponsor this year's Symposium and also
offer a special session to blind/visually
impaired attorneys addressing how to manage
WestLaw and their new product, WestLaw Next, with
assistive technology.  This special session will
take place Friday afternoon, April 15th and will
qualify for CLE credits in most
jurisdictions.  For those registering for the
tenBroek Symposium, this extra session along with
lunch will cost an additional $25.00.  For those
who wish to attend this session only, the cost is $50.00.

Please contact me at the information below to
register for the extra session.  I apologize for
the late announcement, but Thomson-West was not
able to confirm until today.  In the next few
days, I will be gathering more details and
sending them around.  Please feel free to send
this announcement to all appropriate
sources.  Please see an announcement regarding
the Symposium generally below my signature.

issue.
