[blindlaw] Registration is Now Open--2013 Jacobus tenBroek Disability Law Symposium

Thu Jan 31 15:31:08 UTC 2013

I don't know if anyone who attended prior tenBroek symposia has applied for Ohio CLE. I do know that CLE credit for past tenBroek symposia has been approved in Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and California. I am sure there are other states that I don't know about. The number of hours depends on the state.

Sounds like a great seminar! Does anyone know if Ohio attorneys can receive continuing legal education credit? Also, does anyone know how many continuing legal education hours we will earn by attending?
Thank you,
TJ
